Connector Element

hi How do i moved Connector Element???

[russellvee]

If it was set up as a face-based connector element, then it is automatically centered on the face that it is attached to. In that case you have to move or resize the face to move the connector location.

If it is set up as a work plane based connector element you can move it anywhere along the work plane, but to move it out of the plane you would have to assign a new one.

First of all, 1 line question, come on.....
what type of connector, is it duct connector, pipe connector, conduit connector, cable tray connector, etc ????

To add to previous posts, when a Connector is hosted to a face, there is no way to simply "re-host" it or otherwise move it to another face. It must be recreated. If you need to host the Connector to a specific place on a Face (not exactly in the center), then you will have to either create an Extrusion to host it (you can turn its Visibility off) or create a Split Face and the Connector will center on that.

Also, if there are multiple Connectors of the same Type and the Connector you want to move is the Primary Connector, another Connector will then become the Primary Connector; you can select a Connector and use "Re-Assign Primary" to make it the Primary Connector.

I definitely understand the frustration when too little information is provided, but its best to keep in mind that since these forums are accessed internationally, some users may not be so fluent in English which can make communication quite difficult. (There are international forums, but only for select languages). In this particular case, though, I think the one line question seems OK since all Connectors behave the same way in this respect.

hi

I got the specified picture

Please guide

The explanation/solution is in the first part of russllvee's post (#2) and the first part of my post (#4). If there is any part of it that you don't understand, please be specific so we can help.

Well, if this is the only way (extrude geometry and uncheck visibility) how to create simple connector and place it where I want, i am gonna run away as far as i can from revit. This should be simply done with "dimensions" or aligning. Is'n this a reason, why BIM runs only on high-end computers? Sketches in 10 years old Inventor works better comparing to Revit 2020. Any update in this? Or editing straight part cable trays?

Sometimes you just have to accept that this is the way Revit works. Sorry to see you go over something so minor.

Good luck!
