Revit :: Area Boundaries In Groups - Levels And Schemes
Oct 15, 2012
Having some very strange issues with area boundaries used in groups.
I have tested it in RAC 2011, 2012 and 2013 and they all seem to be doing similar things.
grouping them and pasting them is fine - even between levels and even schemes. when i edit them items are excluded on sketch close and even disappear from one scheme to only appear in the scheme that i edited them in. the area still remains in both but only boundaries in one scheme.

"Can a color scheme be copied between non linked projects or does it have to have existed in the template view or be re-built in the new project view? I am surprised it can't be 'transferred' with other project standards, unless you can tell me different?"

As seen on the image below(see the red bordered box), we are wondering how to sort the list under Area (Rentable) in an alphabetical order (A to Z).

When I was using AutoCad 2010 I could HATCH within a cube, circle or within any object that was joined together even if it had text in it would HATCH within the boundaries of the area to be hatched. Now that I use AutoCad 2013 this option does not work as if there is text in the object only a partial area will become hatched. This means I have to MOVE the cube or whatever shape to a place where there is no text inside it, HATCH and then move it back to where I wanted it in the first place.

We work in space management and deal with associative spaces every day. As a platform we use ACA 2012, with out own Add-on tool (whch simply groups ACA's own tools in one).
We have issues on a daily-basis with the usable boundaries of associative spaces (the green line indicated in the example attachment). Generally when a floorplan is simple, consisting mainly of 90-degree angles wall intersections, everything works fine. However when we work with floorplans consisting of arched, or even more often slanted walls or walls that meet at different angles, the usable boundaries' lines tend to create a "spike" (labled B. on the attachment) which extends outward from the plan, thus creating i.e a 28m2 space out of a 13m2 space (labled A). We use our own calculation standard, however using BOMA or SIS the issue occurs in the same manner, using SIS its even worse.
Generally we solve these issues by changing wall justifications, deleting and re-creating spaces, etc, etc. This can be a very tedious process, one which takes a long time and time is of the essence!
We are aware that by making the spaces non-associative, we can then manually edit the usable boundary, however this is not an option as we handle a great deal of different floorplans each day, and these plans are updated frequently, so we do not want to send out a drawing which has a problem like this because the next person who edits some of the spaces will most likely come across the same problem again.

My application has suddenly started to link the hatch pattern to the area boundaries.
The objects remain on their own layers, but I am not able to delete the hatch pattern without deleting the boundaries.
I cannot edit the hatch pattern either as the application no longer recognises the hatch pattern.
Have i changed a setting unwittingly?

See attached file.
How can you do the area takeoff of only the selected faces (red area)?
Right now I have to use the 3rd party software to do something like this. I'm curious if there's a way to do inside Revit?

I am using Revit 2012 and am trying to keep track of where all the groups are used in the project. Instead of clicking through all drawings to check, is there a quick way where I can find such information?

I am using groups for each type of apartment in the project i am doing, Some groups are mirrored, In my door schedule i added a parameter (instance) for my door orientation (Left or right orientation). The problem is when i note a door ina group as left and the same door in the mirrored apt needs to be right it keeps the same note for each door as it thinks the group in not mirrored.

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'm trying to host a face-based family to another family, and then group them together. I have tried hosting to the item itself, and also creating a separate group where the items are hosted to the floor, grouped, and then the group elevation set to the height I need. In both situations, I'm seeing rotation issues - certain instances of the face-based family will rotate to the set degree, and others will remain in their original position. (see attached) The only other option I have is to nest the face-based family into the host family, but that is not how I would like this to work.

I am doing a duplex home and need to paint the walls in diferent finish materials, but this command doesn't apply materials externally to the group editor, so when I enter to edit the group, both unit are painted equal.

I am working with revit since 08, and there was this little annoying bug - in the middle of working process some levels become super slow - adding walls becomes a big task. At the beginning everything works great, but (I suspect) at some point I add curtain inside the room, something goes wrong and the level becomes slow.
It does not work even if I remove curtain walls or purge unused or duplicate window or make separate plan view - if floor area with several basic walls is visible level becomes slow.

I have a project containing 4 similar groups, which were mirrored and went through the "Fix Groups" error. I think I made them unique to avoid ungrouping.
The issue I'm having now is that one of these groups has a couple doors in it that once existed in the design and are now no longer necessary. However, they were deleted at some point, but still exist when I highlight over the group (the first attachment shows an overlapping door highlighted in red and the purple location has a set of double doors--see second attachment). No amount of tabbing will allow me to delete them and I can't ungroup them. Do I need to just start over with a similar group? Or can I somehow find these doors and delete them?

I am having a problem with copy/paste of drafting elements (detail lines, detail items) from one view to another. Basically, I am copying a detail of section created in a ‘Drafting View’ onto an actual wall ‘Section View’. Then I receive an error message that cannot be ignored saying [Cannot paste view-specific elements from different views]. So I am not sure what is happening. The elements that I am copying and pasting are mainly drafting work.
I also noticed that copy/paste part of the drafted work sometimes work. But when I copy the whole drafted work from ‘Drafted View’ to ‘Section View. It gives me the error!!

I have inherited some Revit files, all of which have a ground floor and ceiling plan (hence an associated level).
The levels do not show the in elevations (or sections for that matter). It is not a view setting, I have checked this, nor are they hidden by category or element. I have added new levels and these are visible. The levels exist, I just cannot view them or select them.

Do I have to use the Stack Walls family in order to have my walls line up on top of each other between the levels? My walls are all slightly off in 3D view and look messy..

I've created a small group of concrete reinforcing detail components that have graphic overrides to change solid black to solid grey. When I copy the objects or place new groups made from the objects, the graphic overrides reset to original all black.
Is there anyway to get the graphic overrides, which are embedded in the group, to copy into new intances of the group so that I don't have to "undo group" and apply new graphic overrides?

how to create a wall that infills the gable between two levels of the same roof. There is no internal wall below this location - so this would be some sort of lightweight studwork and panelling rather than brick.

Is there a way to list what items are constrained to levels? i need to remove a couple of annoying levels but have a feeling that walls, roofs, families, etc may be constrained to the levels that I need to delete.
I tried doing a multi-category schedule but I think I need to do one for doors, windows, etc. I thought I read somewhere that this feature was available in Revit 2012.

I can't figure out how to get my levels to show fractions of inches. I can add a dimension from level to level and see the fraction, but the level itself insists on rounding to nearest inch. View scale makes no difference.

We are developing a multistory housing project that will have 5 unique unit plans. What I would like to know is the best approach to implimenting the unit plans in revit?
In autocad, we would create an xref of the unit, then xref as needed on base plans. Thus the ability to place multiple xrefs of the unit on various levels while maintatining the ability to make one change to the original unit plan and have it update thru out the project....How would we do this in Revit?

In starting a new project, I renamed "Level 1" to "Street Level" and "Level 2" to "Level 1". Next I added two additional levels in the drawing, "Level 2" and "Level 3".
My Project Browser shows only Level 1, Site, and Street. Why do the Levels 2 and 3 not show under and how can I get them to.

How to get the brick hatch pattern on my elevations to line up between levels. I have a two story residence with one wall the front that has brick all the up to the roof (the rest of the house has cement board side on the second story). My problem is that the brick pattern on the second floor wall does not line up with the brick pattern on the first floor.
I tried to just extend the first floor wall up to the roof, but I did not like how it wrapped around the corner of the second floor to tie in with the siding. Surely theres is a way to set the hatch patterns origin like in ACA so that all the bricks line up nice and pretty. Also would lining up the brick pattern on the quoins, which are, whatchamacallums... in-place-edit components?
