Move several elements at the same time - Revit

stuzzz — Wed, 19 Nov 2025 16:34:18 GMT

Hi,

I finally realized that the house is too big. To solve this problem, I'd need to reduce the width of the corridor which is 2200mm for now, 1200mm would be enough.

Ideally I would like to select all the elements (into my red dashed line) and then move them to the left by 1000mm.
How can we do that in Revit ??

(I'm a maya user but struggle to understand the Revit paradigm)

Thank you

I don't know how other people do their moving but I hold down the CTRL button and click to select multiple elements to move. After selecting all the elements I typed MV to move it. You can try that and see if it work.

hi @stuzzz

I recommend using the following workflow:
In the floor plan, click and drag to select everything within the area you want to move.
If something is selected by mistake, hold Shift and click on it to remove it from the selection.
After selecting everything, create a Group.
Now switch to 3D view or an elevation view and check whether all the intended elements were included in the group.
If some elements were not part of the group, select the group, click Edit Group, and use Add to include the missing elements.
Once all required elements are inside the group, you can move the entire group easily by the exact distance you need.
