Ghost Families

[mhans_usa]

Hi,

I created a 3D PDF from my Revit Project and to my surprise I found several families clustered outside my view. I checked visibility, I recounted all my families if I am missing an item. I checked the browser and see if using a "select all instance-entire project" would get them to show. Nope. How serious is this? Can I rely on the quantity count of Revit. I tried expanding section view, crop view, reveal hidden elements, temporary hide, etc., these cluster doesn't show up. I used Bluebeam to create a 3D PDF.

Thanks for shedding any light.

Hello and Welcome to the discussion!

You must be using Bluebeam Revu 11 - right?

In release 11 there is a bug that causes this problem. I had notified them the day it was relased and they are working on a patch to fix it - it should be out in a week or two now. Below was their response to my problem:

Thanks for sending me those files and being patient as we ran some tests.  We've found an issue the plugin that is causing parts of the 3D PDF to move.  We're currently working to resolve this issue and should have a fix in Revu 11.1. 

I can send you an e-mail when 11.1 is released and that issue is resolved.  We are shooting to release it in about a month or so.  I hope that until then you can hold off on trying to create 3D PDFs through Revit.  If that's part of your normal workflow, I would recommend using Revu 10.2.3 until 11.1 is released. 

Just to note: this is not a Revit issue and Revit is very accurate in its tracking of components.
