In Revit 2025.3 and later, select the rooms and click Re-center Reference, then select their tags and click Move to Room Reference. The first moves each room's reference lines to its center; the second snaps the tags there. Earlier releases have neither command.
Or, just tell Mira to center a whole view or level.
How to do it in Revit
Step 1: Show the room reference lines
Type VG to open Visibility/Graphic Overrides, expand Model Categories › Rooms, and check Reference. Each room now shows its two reference lines. Where they cross is where Revit puts the room's tag by default (Autodesk Help: Tag a Room), so this is what the next two steps move.
Step 2: Re-center the rooms
For every room in the view, click Architecture tab › Room & Area panel › Re-center Reference. For one room, select it and click Re-center Reference on the Modify | Rooms tab: hover inside the room until its reference lines highlight, then click, and if a wall highlights instead, press Tab until the room does. The reference lines move to the center of the room (Autodesk Help: Control the Visibility of Rooms).
These commands arrived in the Revit 2025.3 update. On an older release, see the first tip below.
Step 3: Move the tags to the room reference
Select the room tags and click Move to Room Reference on the Modify | Room Tags tab. Each tag jumps to where its room's reference lines cross, which is now the center.
If a tag still has a leader, select it and clear Leader Line in the Properties palette. A tag dragged outside its room gets a leader automatically, which is usually how it got one.
Step 4: Repeat on every level
Re-center Reference works on the rooms in the active view, and each room belongs to one level, so run steps 2 and 3 in a plan on every level. Room tags belong to a view, so any other plan that tags the same rooms, a furniture plan for example, needs step 3 again.
What to watch for
On a release before Revit 2025.3, neither command exists, so move the point by hand. Select the room, start Move (MV) from the point where its reference lines cross, type S2 (Snap Mid Between 2 Points) and click two opposite inside corners: the point lands midway between them. Then move the tag onto it the same way. This works for rectangular rooms.
Check the tag family once. If the label in your room tag family is not centered on the family's origin, a tag placed exactly on the center still looks off. Fix it once with Edit Family, not room by room.
L- and U-shaped rooms can have a center that falls outside the room, and Autodesk doesn't say where Re-center Reference puts their reference lines. Check those rooms by eye and move the tag into the largest rectangular part.
Rooms in a linked model can't be changed from the host model, because a link is read-only there. Re-center them in the linked file, then reload the link.
Spaces are not rooms. Autodesk notes that in Revit 2025.3 the re-center commands don't work on MEP spaces.
At firm scale it never stays done. Walls move late, rooms end up off center again, and nobody owns re-centering. In current Revit it is a few clicks per view, but someone has to remember it on every plan, on every level, after every change. That is the kind of job the AI agent for Revit takes on.
Or, just ask Mira to do it.

- Type this in Mira
Center the room tags in this view.
Mira moves each tag and the room's reference point to the room's true geometric center, measured to the wall finish face, and removes the leader. It previews every room before it writes anything, and rooms it can't center fairly, such as some L-shaped rooms, are skipped and named.
