Flip revision cloud

ChrisGamble — Tue, 30 Jan 2018 15:02:53 GMT

When drawing a revcloud by hand you can press spacebar and it will flip the arc of the revcloud, But when using the pick lines tool you can not do that. Is there way to do this? I want to be able to draw perfectly strait line polygon and convert into a revcloud like in CAD.

You can mirror the segment after placing it.

That's probably as good as its gonna get. Revit should look into that small detail.

And we missed the anniversary.

What's your point?

Well, AutoCAD had this function decades ago. Not that oblivious of a point.

And it seems like it would be an easy TAB function within Revit.

Take care,

Decades?

AutoCAD is a totally different platform. Apples to oranges. If you can get the programing done that easily, you may want to get it over to them right away.

Same company. And they have been interating functions from CAD to Revit since the acquisition. And I'm not saying it's easy to program. I'm simply noting that customers have been asking for this feature for a long time. They ask for feedback. This is the feedback.

What's your problem?

Yeah, not quite and you're off the mark.

The feedback forum is elsewhere. Autodesk doesn't listen here.

What is "interating"?

Still different platforms.

Spacebar while drafting or mirror the line without the copy option selected if it is already in place.
