Revit :: Changing Door Swing Direction

May 21, 2013

I downloaded a toilet stall that looks pretty good.  But the door swing is on the wrong side for my plans.
 
Short of starting from scratch, is there a way to change the hinge side?  Some restrooms have the hinge on the right side and others on the left.  I'd like to be able to change this via a parameter.  If I could figure out how, I'd add the param to the family. URL>...

Revit :: Door Swing Elevation Line Display

Jun 14, 2012

I am currently running Revit Architecture 2011.  I have interior elevations in my project, which include doors.  The door swing lines show up solid in elevation.  In fact there actually appear to be two of them.  I want the elevation swing indication to be a center line style.
 
I have changed the swing elevation line type  in object types to center (which is what I want). 
 
I go to the elevations and there is no change in the swing indication line except that there still appear to be two lines (one on top of the other) where now one is center linetype and the other is solid.  Seems like progress except that there is no actual visual difference.
 
There is only one symbolic line in the family.  If I un-check the draw in foreground box the elevation line disapears entirely when reloaded into the project.
 
This is an OTB door.  I can place it in a completely new template and it displays fine.  So it I am thinking it is NOT the family. There must be some setting in the actual file itself controlling this and I am stumped.

Revit :: Tiled Viewports / How To Freeze Size - Orientation

Dec 7, 2011

Getting used to using tiled viewports, and wondering how to keep the viewports from reshuffling/resizing on a temporary basis, so I don't have to keep manually resizing them whnever I, say, maximize one view to work on it.  When done working in one maximized tiled workspace, I'd like to return to the previous orientation of the tiles.  Right now, I have to manually resize/reorient the tiles.  Any suggesitons on how I can return to  a "preferred tile format"?   For instance, I might want a plan view, two elevations, and a 3-D, with some tiles larger than others, to return to reglarly after maximizing one to work in temporarily.

Revit :: Cannot Rotate Solar Panel Orientation (vertical)

Dec 9, 2011

I can place a solar panel on the surface of the roof (flush with roof surface), but cannot tilt it up.  No matter what I try, an error message comes up saying "can't rotate element into this position".Have tried creating new panel, renaming it, etc.   The panel seems to have a constraint of some sort that I cannot override.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Where To Find Number Of Sheets Parameter

Sep 28, 2012

I have made a drawing template with a title block that has iProperties of Type Drawing Properties, Property, Number of Sheets <Number of sheets> although not listed as a Parameter. Someone suggested that I tag it this way.  Similar to what is described as on page 545 of Mastering Inventor 2012 By Curtis Waguespack. I can find the iProperties of the Sheet Number in the Model but I cannot find where to modify the input for the “of” field. Or where does The Format Text, Type Drawing Properties, Property, <Number of sheets>, field link to?

And or what is this Edit Property Fields, dialogue box for.  I cannot change “edit” any of the fields.  Is it just me or what?

Revit :: How To Set Parameter Up

Mar 22, 2013

I have been working on creating windows for the place I work.  I want to make my windows so they are quick and easy to create new ones without having to add in new information like if the glass is tempered or if its an egress window. I would like to set up formulas for these.  I am stuck at my egress window parameter.  I have included an image of what I am working on and the calculations and formulas I have so far.  I would like to have my egress check box to say yes if the Opening Width is greater then 20", the opening height is greater then 24" and the opening sf is greater then 5.7 Sf.  How would I set this parameter up?

Revit :: Tooltip On Label Parameter?

Oct 5, 2011

Does the tooltips on Label Parameters can be modified? I would like to customize the tooltips on label parameters, which currently default to "Edit Parameter"...lame-oh; that tells the user very little. Perhaps the developers could add a customize tooltip control in the Edit Label dialogue box. Can the tooltips be accessed through the database?

Revit :: Parameter Group Not Sticking?

Feb 19, 2014

I have set 2 parameters in the Family Editor so they 'Group Under' Dimensions, yet when I load into a project (that the family object has been deleted out of via the Project Browser), I find instead they are Grouped under 'Other'.
 
One of the offending objects attached.
 
I've done this 2 ways, once by opening within Revit the Family Editor, making the change and then loading back into the file, only to find nothing has changed, and also then by again opening up in the family editor from Revit to find ditto; and separately by opening up the file directly in Explorer and then loading into the open project.
 
Not an enormous problem, just annoying as I want to group Dimensions parameters naturally enough under Dimensions!

Revit :: Correct IFC Exports Using Visibility Parameter

Mar 4, 2012

I find the visibility parameter a very useful option when building families. Unfortunately it doesn't work when exporting IFC. The elements set to not visible are visible in the IFC exports.
 
I also experienced IFC export issues with the use of phases.An element created at phase 1 and set to demolished at phase 2, will not be visible in the IFC export of phase 1.
 
The IFC Exporter for Revit 2012 v1.0.4.msi was used when running into these issues.How to be able to have correct IFC exports using the visibility parameter ?

Revit :: View Specific Parameter For Cut Plane

Feb 23, 2014

when I insert a window family the cut plane Revit uses is that of the family rather than that of the view. This causes a lot of problems for us when we need to cut the same window at different levels in different views and the window itself should look different. The window itself is built to look differnet at 3 ranges of cut plane height. However, if I try to control this throught yes/no visibility parameter it affects all views. I fail to make it view specific. Is there any way to make an instance parameter or view specific parameter for the cut plane/ visibility of parts in the window family. It is such a basic need for architects and I fail to understand its absence in the Revit. Generaly speaking one should be able to control what you see in each plan section view. It's an essential thing in architectural drawing.

Revit :: Constrain Family And Rotate With Parameter?

Jul 15, 2013

I need to constrain a handle to a butterfly valve and add a parameter for rotating the handle angle.  I can't achieve this as when I constrain the handle to the valve the handle will not rotate without breaking the positional constraints.
 
I've tried looking at the door swing posts but they don't use circular objects and I can't get them to work for my valve.

Revit :: Families - Lock Parameter Value Across All Types

Apr 24, 2012

I have a family that has over thirty types and I need to update a single parameter value across all types to be the same value.  Is there a global way to perform this task instead of the current copy/paste/paste/paste method I am doing.  I thought about exporting to a catalog and modifying the text file in Excel, but I lose my formula when I do that.
 
If this isn't possible, this would be a good wishlist item, Autodesk - where a family has global parameters that are consistent throughout the family, regardless of type.

Revit :: Make Conditional Formulas With A Parameter?

Mar 5, 2012

I was wondering if there was a way to make conditional formulas with a parameter?  So I want a parameter called system.  On the pulldown to enter the field under properties.
 
 I want there to be 3 choices (i.e. 1=Air, 2=Water, 3=Gas). 
 
If the user tries to enter any value other than the 3 values specified (whether by typing or pulldown), a message comes up stating they cant do that.  The names for the systems have been simplifed for this example but the spelling is critical to the external database.  I have tried but  but I keep getting the follwoing is not a valid family parameter: X. X because thats the first conditional value.

Revit :: Filter Parameter Values ​​which Are Only Applicable?

Oct 22, 2013

I'm wondering if it is possible to filter/show only parameter values which are only applicable to that parameter. So no parameter values belonging to other parameters in a family. This to avoid that users are selecting wrong values. For example a door with several text parameters. See also the screendump.

Revit :: Reporting Parameter For Stair Pitch

Jul 25, 2013

Is it possible to create a Stair Tag with the pitch reported?  I have a tag which includes the number and height of rises as well as the size of treads but I would like to include the pitch also.  Obviously this would use the dimensions of the rise and tread in the formula Tan X = Rise/Tread, but how do I create this in a tag?  I have looked at using a Reporting Parameter but every time I read the Wikihelp paragraph on them my eyes just glaze over as I cannot follow it at all but it does mention formulas....
