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.

Welcome Sjansen and be ready with the learning curve for managing Autodesk licenses as they are a different animal and a bit of a PITA to administrate at times.

If you are stuck with the workflow of having to use these composite walls, there is no real way to mask them out of your plans.

You could try going with "parts" but then you would need an...

The items that come in Lumion Pro package are top notch.
Enscape is ok but a little limited, and they look terrible in a plan but look nice in the renders so you can ONLY use them for renders.
I...

Phil, this was argued in another thread earlier but just briefly for you -
Think of this like a Microsoft certification.
It is a software certification, not an industry qualification.
What it does...

Welcome and you absolutely can use any "texture" you like for revit materials.
You can also mess around with things like the reflectivity, the BMP and finish styles etc.
Revit is only as limited...

So you have a hot mess by the sounds of it.

First off, you can not obtain analytical data from the IFC. What you could do is open the IFC using revit (not link it but use the "open" command in...
