How to stop Align Tools from moving multiple windows in same time

ahmed.xeng — Sun, 20 Mar 2022 06:39:27 GMT

I don't Know why while aligning window in plan view another windows is moving !!

Is there any solution for this issue ?

I am using Revit 2022 and Default Autodesk window family.

Turn on Constraints and unlock any locked dimensions between windows. Or place dimensions between windows and unlock the padlocks.

There is no Constraints or dimensions at all

No constraints? Have you revealed constraints? The button is at the bottom bar. Or, just select any window and you can see a lock.

Try to cut 1 window to clipboard and paste back aligned to same place ... would it still behave that way?

I still have the problem but I found something

Actually the wall it self is moving while aligning and not the window !!

I am not able to select the windows from its edges !! even using TAB key !

Also I tried to adjust window sizes heights and widths and settle levels but nothing changed !

Any help ?

You are aligning the wall rather than the windows ...

Edit the Widow family and set the ref planes (left and right side) properly as reference planes
And when you are tabbing through the elements, wait for the bubble tool tip to popup telling you what you have tabbed (it should read the Family name - Reference Plane Name)

Otherwise...attach the family and I will re-edit this post to add you a GIF to watch
