you can easily "cheat" this by just putting even a detail line or any other line at 45 degrees in your main project and by pressing space bar your family will align to the detail/model line.

Just my 2 cents here but looks like you already found your solution.

I would probably prefer a 2nd model option.
In the early state I can just copy the "document" model that was used to build the...

Go download the DiRoots paramater manager and you will find this a much easier task also mate.

It depends on your naming...

Thanks, I suspected it might be something like this.
I will try out switching from raster to vector and see if it resolves the issue

We have published some views to BIM360 and when I zoom on the view all modelled elements are blurry and out of focus.
Other elements like dimension lines, and grid lines keep their "sharpness" but...

ok I will try option 2 there, that seems the most appropriate. Will get back and post if it works or not

EDIT:
So no, this did not work as we wanted because I need to show primary lines thicker,...

I did not see the family in question but I have made families that contain nested items and have rotate options on them.

When I do these kind of families I build the reference lines first. In the...

Hello,
I am trying to control the contour labels in a Revit surface.
I have it set to show
Primary contours at 50m (thick black line)
Secondary contours at 10m (medium black line)
Tertiary...

Tool - Descending

This is just a brain "fart" but have you considered treating the "cube" rather as a sphere and using degrees minutes and seconds to rotate the view? I don't even know if it can work, just throwing...

You need to go to the "massing and site" tab.
Here just under the "site modeling" section of this tab (where you can make the topographic surface) there is a little tiny arrow pointing diagonally...

Yes you can do all of those things.

The reason this breaks is that when the angle changes it wants to rotate the ref plane which revit will not do.
For this kind of constraint, Robin is correct, you should use a reference line and not...

I will caveat that my experience is from a structural perspective where there are a lot less model complications to be concerned about (like joinery etc)

I guess it depends on the use case to...

Thanks, at first glance though KiwiCodes looks pretty decent

Yes this is true - the model can be uploaded to BIM360 but not workshared.
An uploaded model can not be updated using a publish option - you need to upload the file again and it will create a new...

so your guy can use the inventor option to convert to a revit file, and simplify the geometry before creating the revit family, that might solve some of the issues

Hi Anthony, I am currently working on a project where we are dealing with some complicated phasing.
We have phasing that is used for external coordination and then internal coordination which has...

Thanks for the feedback, I will take a look at the options here and see if one of them suits.

Scott, any idea if this can be applied to foundations?

For example I have a foundation that will be made up of precast elements (similar to retaining wall footing)
Could I say, extrude the shape...

Thanks Scott, yes that is indeed the way we have dealt with it at the moment.
It would be nice though if much like Revit I could just switch between options in the same view....Any idea if that tool...

Hi, I am wondering if anyone uses a particular plugin for managing their libraries in Revit?

I remember seeing one years ago that showed a thumbnail of the family, and let you manage a bit the...

I am working on a project that is using design options during the DD phase at the moment.

I am looking in our federated model on BIM360 using the viewer, and I want to be able to cycle through the...

Hah, no I have english as a first language, and I speak french as I live and work in suisse romande.

It's ok RobDraw he was just having a joke, no offence taken.
