Revit :: Load Selection In Family Editor

Dec 12, 2013

When I save a selection in the family editor I can't seem to find the load selection button on the manage tab like you would in the project environment. The whole panel selection is not there. If I make a selection of at least two elements I get the load selection button on the modify tab. Is this as design or as forgotten?
 
At this moment it seems I first have to make a selection in order to load another selection.

Revit :: Family Will Not Change Type After Load

Feb 21, 2012

I'm going through a tutorial on families (Paul Aubin) and have created a shelf w/ nested brackets that works as expected when flexed in the family editor.  Any project I load it into shows it at its default configuration, but when I select it in the project and change it's type in the properties box, the configuration does not flex - it stays as inserted.  It also shows my parameters in the properties box as individually modifiable.

Revit :: Can't Load Family - Ungroup Error

Jan 29, 2014

I have placed showers within various apartments. These apartments are groups. I have made a change to the family, (realigned a reference plane to be equal between two points). Now I reload the family into the project and no matter what I try, I cannot load it into the project without getting the ungroup error. 
 
Prior to the warning, it states i need to delete a number of dimension references. Which I allow, then the group error appears telling me I still have constraint problems. 
 
I thought it would be fine to dimension to families in groups, but it appears their is the potential for problems.

Revit :: How To Align Nested Family To Reference Line In Host Family To Rotates Around A Certain Point

Jan 29, 2014

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...

AutoCAD Inventor :: Replacing Content Center Parts - Family Name Already Existing

Oct 7, 2011

We are using Tube and Pipe with custom valves, flanges etc published to and taken from Content Center. Quite frequently we have to mock up a vendor supplied valve until we get the final model from them (usually near the end of the project) the mocked up valves can change in design over the course of the project, which means submitting and re-submitting different versions of valve with a slightly different name each time.

To try and keep things tidy (and prevent confusion with other users) I've tried to delete existing families and replace again with the same name, but Inventor T&P/CC won't allow this, and usually get the error message about family name already existing.

How can I truly delete the family and have no trace left on CC/Vault/working folders etc? Is there a workflow I should be aware of for such a task?

Revit :: Can't Rotate Simple Family

Revit :: Window Family And Groups

Mar 14, 2012

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?

Revit :: Creating A Grab Bar Family

May 21, 2013

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.

Revit :: Family Dialog Box Does Not Open

Nov 9, 2011

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.

Revit :: Edit The Keynote Family

Dec 16, 2009

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?

Revit :: Family Creation Visibility

Dec 13, 2012

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.

Revit :: Family Line Color Not Showing Up

Jan 18, 2013

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.

Revit :: Cutting / Editing Family Detail

Nov 28, 2011

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.
