Hello,

what is the difference between applying

ElementTransformUtils.RotateElement(doc, fi, axis, angle)

and

fi.Location.Rotate(axis, angle)

to a FamilyInstance?

Dear Dirk,

As  notice I guess the basic difference between in term of work:

 fi.Location.rotate : Rotate element with their dependent element. Suppose B element attached with A if you use Location.Rotate(A) it rotate B also. While ElementTransfomUtil rotate only specified element.

You can also see their metadata summary.
