Mid Of Two Points Snap

Add a new snap the same as AutoCAD's 'Mid of two points'.

I would like Revit to have the Mid Between 2 Points Object Snap feature similar to AutoCAD.

Ideally, the snap override menu would be accessible through shift+rightclick (similar to Autocad), where the mid between 2 points could be added to the list of overrides.

What about adding the ability to snap the middle of a dimension at least? The middle/axis of a room is hard to find when doors and windows are not located in its middle and the middle of its surrounding walls are mostly far away because revit unfortunately cannot detect mids of intersected wall segments.

We've completed our review of this idea. After investigating the effort required to implement this request, we unable to add it to our roadmap at this time due to other priorities. However, we think this is a great idea so we will reconsider it as we made adjustments to our roadmap in the future. Thanks for the submission and keep voting!

Also add the ''from'' option when ''Mid Between 2 Points'' will be impemented in the future. :cara_con_una_leve_sonrisa:

It will really help us to move or select between two points , for example getting the exact mid point of a component for placement ... , it will also reduce the time that we spend on drawing lines for getting the points.

This command is currently being used in Auto Cad and the shortcut is (M2P) .

Thanks in advance.

There is already an idea for this: Mid between two points 

 

Please vote on this idea rather than splitting up the votes.

Here was the idea that I submitted awhile back: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-ideas/more-snap-options/idi-p/6706702

@sasha.crotty  As mentioned in the road map discussion: this is a feature we would like to use a hundred times a day, every day.

 

To us (unaware of the coding challenges behind the scenes) this seems like a pretty easy request. Are there certain technical challenges that make this a complicated request? 

 

 

Could the dev team perhaps give us a little bit more insight? If we'd understand why this is so difficult than waiting for it might become a bit easier :cara_con_una_leve_sonrisa:

@Anonymous, the difficulty here is not creating something that snaps to two points and then identifies where the middle is. That's easy enough. The challenge is teaching every tool in Revit to start using this capability when snapping. To implement this functionality, you're actually replacing one click with two clicks and those two clicks have very different behavior from the original clicks. So we essentially have to teach a lot of editors (and yes, we do reuse stuff, so it's not every single tool) to break out of what they're doing, do something else, and then go back to the original code as if there was only one click. It's hot a huge amount of work for each one, but it's a fairly large project when you include all of Revit's tools and the associated testing effort. Hope that helps.

Thank you for taking the time and give us more insight. That does help actually. It sounds like it's the similar issue as with enabling editing in perspective mode (I remember that the tools also had to "learn to understand" a new way of editing).

This snap would be used every day in our modelling.  The benefits to your end users would be a very large time saving.

Most missed command from Autocad...

I meant it's the #1 Autocad feature I wish Revit would adopt.

This was awesome in AutoCAD

I miss it greatly. Having to draw construction lines is an enormous pain.

I miss them too!!  "From" and  "Mid between..."

This would save millions of clicks when centering items in grid ceilings.

@sashacrotty Please overhaul the snaps system in Revit.  Blender Snaps totally embarrass Revit.

All Revit Ideas are always under review, and consolidating posts (and Kudos!) will give weight to topics previously spread across many posts.

Just tried it out and it is only half as good as I had hoped. While it works well for placing certain components between two references, it does not work at all when trying to place, say, a window or a door centered between two elements. The example I tested was placing a couple of elements along a wall and then trying to center a window between those elements using the (S2) snap feature. Revit will not allow that. You can place other non-hosted components using the (S2) snap feature but it appears to not work with wall hosted elements. I have not tested this with other components but I suspect the results will be the same. Hopefully this will be enhanced in the next version of Revit.

Snap Mid-Point Between Two Points' 

Hi, @k.sharif ,

 

This functionality was implemented in Revit 2022.1. I will combine your post with the original Idea.

 

Thank you!
