[Revit 2019] Rotated wrong orientation Structural Connections

Anonymous — Thu, 11 Mar 2021 10:10:17 GMT

Hello,

I have an issue where structural connections rotate randomly by 90 degrees. The connection type is "Tube plate bracing". I want the alignment/orientation of the connection to be that of the connection that can be seen in the top right corner (blue circle) of the image. I have no idea what is causing this issue or how to resolve it. Does anyoen know how to resolve this issue? All help is appreciated.

Best regards

What type of connection do you use?

Tube plate bracing, as stated above.

Maybe this solution comes too late but I believe it can help future cases. I managed to solve the same issue going into an elevation view, then deleting the existing tube connections and inverting the ends of the horizontal elements. Dragging the handling dot to the opposite side so the left end was the right. Did an extend to the CL. of the vertical elements and placed the connections again. All worked like a charm. Hope this helps.

Hi I'm having the same problem in that my connections are rotating. I must be missing something from your above solution. All of my tube plate bracing connections are rotated.

@Adrian_GilfillanQC9GL Strange one!

I could repeat the same scenario and the only way to resolve it was to draw the beams in 3D using 3D Snapping Point there worked as expected!

There really needs to be an option like the other Tube Connections where you can Pick Parallel or Perpendicular for Plate orientation

Still can't get this to work.

Try drawing a dummy Reference Plane vertically in the orientation of the required connection direction and setting this as you workplane - does this have any influence?

Try using a Tube Angle Braking then delete and then use the Tube Plate Bracing

Still doesn't work for me

Strange one sometimes it works other it doesn't?

The alternative is to use the Tube Connection with Sandwich Plate and remove the Tab and edit accordingly

As you can see in this connection it allows you to Orient the connection which the Tube Plate Bracing needs

(view in My Videos)

It is very inconsistent
