Rotate multiple elements

SamBerk — Thu, 11 Aug 2016 21:06:52 GMT

is it a way that we can rotate multiple elements in one time in a different rotation point ?

What exactly are you trying to do? Do you want to rotate multiple objects at once where each object is rotated around its own placement point but in the same direction as other objects?

Interesting question... Not of the top of my head unless you are setting up some sort of an angle rotation type parameter. What kind of elements are you trying to rotate?

I'm not fully understanding, but my interest is peeked: What's the practical application?

i have inport and exploded a cad file, but the problem is that the cad file is drawn in a different orientation from my model, so i have rotate the drawings to match my orientation but the problem becomes that the text now becomes vertical

It sounds like you should be asking how to rotate all text annotations in a dwg file on an Autocad forum.

i don't have so much experience in autocad so i would like to know if it's a way in revit to do this,

thank you everyone.

Don't import and explode an AutoCAD file inside Revit. A big no-no. Link it into Revit and use it as a reference to create your text using Revit, and then remove the link when you're done.

You can achieve this in microstation. There's a option to rotate about center of element. I haven't figured this out yet, have you found a solution yet?

You can do it with dynamo

select the (multiple) elements you want to rotate, dont specify rotation point, instead just input the angle you want (180 for me) and enter. They would rotate on their own center points.

@kinginthedream Not sure what you're seeing but this does not work...

Select the text in Autocad you want to rotate, go to properties and change the rotation angle.

Isn't this a revit forum? The solution needs to be in revit, not autocad
