I am used to searching for Elements by using their IDs, however in editing a door family I have been stumped by a dialogue, herewith:
The unusual thing with this is that this dialogue is always followed by another stating that 'No good view could be found', whatever view I try to look for them in! Having opened every view in the family and done a search I am wondering what next to do?
I am exporting gbXML file from Revit Architecture 2013. And I am looking at the format of the name of the surface element. According to the Autodesk wikihelp, I understand that it is composed in a form as : orientation-space-(other space)-exposure-type-sequence number-(opening type)
It means if the surface is an interior wall surface, there will be two adjacent space names recored here. such as N-101-102-E-W-D-84
But I notice that in my gbXML file, I have some terms like : B-2-2-I-F-10, B-2-2-I-F-16, X-1-1-I-O-6, and X-1-1-I-O-15, I notice that when the orientation is "Bottom" or it is a type of "air", the space names will repeated twice.
(Can't edit the element until 'A' resaves the element to central and relinquishes it and you Reload Latest.).this note come when i try to modify or erase any element in revit file and i want to know why does this proplem occur ? and how can i resolve this proplem becouse ineed this file.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a project incorporating field inspections into a Revit model. I have a model built, and I'm trying to export information regarding each structural element (family, type & instance, dimensions, etc) into an 'inspection sheet' (excel spreadsheet or text file). After the field inspection, my goal is to update the Revit model with inspection results. For example, damage to a beam might include a reduced cross sectional area/reduced moment of inertia.

View 7 Replies View RelatedHow do I apply a Project Parameter (not Shared Parameter) that I created in Manage> Settings > Project Parameters to an existing element.
Following the instructions under Creating a Project Parameter in WikiHelp for Revit 2013, I created a Project Parameter called "Equipment ID" (common, text, text) in Manage> Settings > Project Parameters. In the process I clicked the Modify button and assigned it to all Categories by checking all boxes. However, when I opened the family editor for a piece of electrical equipment, selected an element (an extrusion), and then went into the Family Types dialog and clicked Add Parameter, it did not give me the option of adding Project Parameters, only Shared Parameters.
WikiHelp, under "Project Parameters", states "Project parameters are parameters you define and then add to multiple categories of elements in a project", but does not say how to "add" them to the element and doesn't direct me to another section that dose.
Is it possible to show the exterior walls at a different detail level than the interior walls in the same view? Keep in mind they are all apart of the basic wall system family so there is no editing the family visibility at this point.
View 1 Replies View RelatedProblem: in order to get Revit Mep to calculate roofs in the heatload calculation I the floor I used need to be a roof.
Revit MEP does not calculate any roof area since in my model I used floors to finish a level. Which i architurally correct. But partially it's also a roof. Revit Mep does not use the floor as a roof. So what i want to do is to redefine a complex floor with lots of curved sides etc. into a roof.
The question is: is it possible to just tell revit somehow to change the categorie of the element to roof? or do I have to redraw the whole floor as a flat roof?
error: Can't obtain permission to edit the element: The Central Model is inaccessible. You can check out worksets at risk, but consider carefully!thats what it says i took the file of my the drive but cant edit it.

I've utilized the Plywood-Section detail component out of the Imperial
Library, and it runs left-to-right, no matter the orientation of the element I drew. Messing with the Fill Pattern settings, it looks identical if I set the Plywood-Align pattern to "Align to Element", or "Orient to View". Nothing changes.
Is the attached possible? I'm trying to cut out the plaster wrap to a wall, but can't figure out how to do it.
I've had a look at using reference planes in the door family object, but they don't seem to be able to do this?
Simply checking the wall type to wrap at only the external insert isn't going to work as I want the recess in the plaster to be away from the door frame edge.
Is it possible to use something like a parameter that would allow you to enter a width in the element properties window of the selected wall(s)?
we would like to have a generic wall (outline only) that the width can be changed per wall for layout purposes, then the walls will be selected & changed later to an actual wall with known materials.

This only happens with PS not with other programs. And it continues after resetting the computer.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIt is important that a "catalog" or database is easy to search by complex queries. So, for example, if I want to know what images I entered in the state fair in 2011 and am trying to enter in the state fair again in 2012, I'd like to be able to search on something like:
keyword "state fair" and "2011" and "2012".since I have a "state fair" keyword with "2011" and "2012" as children.
In Bridge this is trivial since you can build criteria. How do I do this in LR? The only way I've been able to do this so far is to add a second keyword column to the library filter bar and fiddle around that way. It's pretty clumsy.
OR, for example, I want to see which 11x14 (or 14x11) images I have, that have NOT been used for a specific club competition..I'd want all the filenames that contain "11" AND "14" AND "x" and do NOT contain a keyword "xyz"
Since this one requires both keywords AND multiple pieces from the filename, I haven't figured out how to put this together in Lightroom.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to exclude "backup" files from search. Don't tell me to turn off backup! They have saved me on more than one occasion. When I search my Corel "Jobs" directory which has over 40,000 files it shows all the backup files too. How can I exclude those files? No, creating a seperate place just for these files is not a viable solution either as the backups are set to save within the same directory as the Corel file. If it were seperate it would be really hard to find as we often just call files "18 x 24 coro" but under the clients name. Can't have the backup saving over others with the same name.
