Revit :: 2014 Performance While Loading Family?
Feb 21, 2014
I am looking for a way to boost the performance in Revit 2014 while loading or updating complex family’s. The problem at the moment seems to be that Revit 2014 only uses 1 cpu while loading family’s even if you have a high end multicore workstation at hand. So with hardware there is not much you can do.
A possible solution should be in virtualization, i.e. running Revit 2014 in a virtual machine with a single vCpu assigned on a vmware Esxi or Microsoft Hyper-v multi core host. I have tested this solution but ran into the problem that neither Esxi or Hyper-v distribute the load of the single Vcpu in the virtual machine over de multicore’s of the host. 1 Vcpu uses just one core of the host so no cpu performance advantage at all. The best practice of adding Vcpu’s to the virtual machine just lowers the performance of Revit in this case.

I've been downloading some families from seek. Each time I download, I open the family and then load it into the current project. Well, during the load into current project, the view switches from Level 1 New (the active view before the family load) to Level 1 Existing, the first view in the project. Is this intentional or a bug?

Why does Revit open an identical sheet view when loading a family? I end up with the same view open twice.

I am trying to take a custom counter I created as a family and have it show a material in my project. It seems that no matter how I apply the material parameter to the family type object, type or instanced, the material does not change in the project when I apply any new material. I have opened up other countertops I have used from the Revit Default Casework Family and I can't seem to find a difference in the setup between mine and Revit. I wanted to use an instanced parameter so I can change the material per room where the object is used.

I'm trying to align a nested family to a reference line in my host family so that it rotates around a certain point.
I've created the reference line in my host family, locked the end point to two reference planes and then gave an angular parameter to the angle between the ref. line and the ref. plane.
I then inserted the nested family and aligned it to the ref. line. The problem is that when I flex the angle, i get a "Constraints not satisfied" error..
What could be wrong?
I'm using a generic face based family for both host and nested families...

Clients are asking for point clouds within my work and renderings now. I've been given some of their PC data files for a test. It looks like the only format you can load is RCP & RCS which appears to be the AutoDesk ReCap native format.
Is the only way to import Point Clouds into MAX to buy another software package that converts the data (amoung many other things)?

In Revit 2013 I attempt to load an item from the Family but I find that the “Load Family” dialog box does not appear. how to get it to cooperate? Even starting a new project the load family dialog box does not appear. I have done: 1) system restore, 2 ) repaired install, 3 ) re-installed, 4) uninstalled and reinstalled from scratch but still the problems persists on this machine. all other office PC’s with Revit 2013 behave.

I've attached a simple RVT file with a family inserted and the front view active. I need to rotate the family 90 degrees but Revit reports the following error:
"Can't draw because Work Plane is at a very sharp angle in this view. Go to another view or redefine the Work Plane."

I have several window types in my project. Let's say that the window is 3'-0" wide by 4'-8" high - Mark #1. I want to group three of these windows and schedule the group as Mark #2 - not three separate #1 windows. How do I set up the three windows together to become a single window schedulable for the entire opening of the three windows grouped together so that the opening would read 9'-0" wide?

I downloaded a grab bar family that I thought looked very good. But then I tried to place it on the toilet stall portion (I also downloaded stall partition families). When I tried to place the grab bar, it wouldn't place -- I believe because the grab bar is WALL BASED.
So now the question is how do I go about placing a grab bar (or anything else) that is not wall based so that I can use it with the stall portion? I had tried to use face based but couldn't get that too work.

Recently, My revit does not load families. The process I use is the following:
In the Build area of the home ribbon, I select the Component button. I going to the Place component ribbon. When I select Load Family form the Mode portion of the ribbon, the properties box pops up. It is locked at this point and I cannot do anything but hit escape. The program functions just fine in all other aspects. I have used a vanilla project to see if the project I am working on is corrupted and I get the same results.

I am trying to create a custom planter based off some line work that I did in my project. It has a curve. basically what I have done is created the line work on plan but now I want to use that curved line to create my family. which I am thinking I can create a profile and then sweep it on those lines. The problem is I can get the line work to the family.

I'm trying to edit the keynote family with no luck. We are updating our standards and getting into using the keynote system in revit. I have added the correct keynote to most of our standard materials and its working great. I then opened the keynote family and changed the justification of the text to justify the way we do notes. I also changed the line style of the leader lines so it matches our other notes.
All went well. I get stuck when I try to change the gap between the leader tail and the text. I can't find anywhere to actually edit the line/arrow in the family that would let me change how that works. If you see my attached image the one on the top is our standard note and the other two are the keynote family.
How to set / change that gap?

I know I must just be missing this somewhere, but I would like to shut off the geometry inside a family that's associated with a specific parameter. This is while I'm editing the family.
Specifically, the family I'm creating is for an appliance that has the option of an arched, or rectangular opening. Once I associate the geometry for the arched opening with a parameter, I'd like to shut that off, so that I can create the rectangular opening. Similar to how the family behaves once it's brought into a project.
Right now, I'm just kind of using the temporary hide functionality to shut them off, but if I turn them on, then have to go back to make edits, I have to select the individual geometry all over again to hide it. I've also noticed that some geometry, even when hidden, can still be selected.

As Revit insert a door it cuts the wall starting at the flooring level upward door height but in real building the door openning starts from the top concrete
Can I tell revit to start cutting the wall bellow flooring (leaving the door wing to start from flooring) or how can i add this feature to door family...i would like to control the height of the cut below flooring (e.g be a parametric).

The line color of my family is not showing up. It is just a symbol and it should be red, but it shows up black. I went to the overides in the project and nothing was overridden, so I went ahead and changed the imported families override to red just to see if it would change and it still didn't change. How do I fix this? When I open the family, the lines are red, just not in the project.

I'm having trouble editing a family I've made. It's a profiled rim for a crate that needs room for a latch. So I need to create a small spacing in the rim so that the latch can fit. I've tried to cut geometry, and edit the family (rim) itself, but I need to edit it in an elevation view and not floor plan.
