Autodesk Revit MEP

[#1]

2013 MEP - I have diffusers hosted to a Reference Plane.  If I move the plane, the diffusers will move, but the duct detaches itself from the diffuser.  The flows seem to remain.  This did not happen in previous versions.

Anyone else notice this?

I tested and it seems to work for me. See the following video and file

If you are doing something different and its not working I will need to know your steps. Please create a video and post for review.

Thanks for posting.

Try a Sidewall Diffuser (Vertical Face Hosted).

Also, How do you create a video from your Revit?  This would be handy for training...

Same results in that it works. See the below and Jing (its free) is the tool I use for video's.

Thank you,

I will try the video soon.  I have an area of exposed duct, with exposed sidewall diffusers (No Wall).  I have to place the diffuser on a vertical Reference Plane, not perpendicular like you had it.  Revit will not connect a duct to a diffuser that is hosted to the duct's end.  I place the diffuser on the Vertial Reference Plane, then draw a duct from the diffuser's connector, tapping it into a main duct.  I then move the Reference Plane, noticing the diffuser moves, but the duct does not extend with the diffuser.

In the sketch you sent, try moving the wall.  you might see the duct not moving with the diffuser.

I Downloaded the Jing and created this... Please see Attached.

Sorry, could not Attach SWF or a WMV.  How do you attach anything here?  How did you attach the mp4? It gives me a warning that it is not a supported extension.

[#9]

You can only attach images. If you have a Dropbox account place the Revit file and video in it and send me the address. Thank you,

I cannot share my Revit file, but I can send you the wmv.  I think this works, I've never used this before.
