In-Place Editor

carlov2 — Sat, 20 Feb 2021 20:47:08 GMT

I downloaded Revit 2021 on my macbook with the help of bootcamp and I'm having trouble locating the "In-Place Editor" to "Finish Model", for some reason it's not up in the toolbar.

Revit LT of Full Revit?

I'm not quite sure what you mean with that I'm actually new to the software! Are you referring to which form of Revit I downloaded?

Revit LT does not have In-Place Modeling capability.

My question should have been written: "Revit LT or full Revit?"

Full Revit.

Okay, then I'm obviously not understanding the question. Can you elaborate? Maybe provide a screen capture?

Are you saying you can create an in place model but you cannot finish it?

This?

You know, for questions and issues related to the Mac operating systems or Boot Camp, you ought to contact Apple as well.

Yes exactly! I am not able to do this, for some reason it isn't showing up in my ribbon.

Here is my professors screen and as you can tell he has the circled portion whereas I don't, mine is the first picture.

Open keyboard shortcuts, find the command Finish Model and add a shortcut for it. Then when you don't see the ribbon tool, use the shortcut.

How do I open keyboard shortcuts? If I remember correctly it said I had to push windows + D but since I have a Mac I don't have this option.

The "professor" screenshot is showing the In-Place Contextual Tab. You are not in an In-Place Editing Session from what I see.

How do I get to what he is on? I followed the exact same steps that he did.

You are not in the in place family editing mode. You need to select the in place model family, edit in place, then you will see the family editing contextual ribbon.
