It is possible that you may encounter issues when trying to create a detail group in an elevation view in Revit. Here are a few potential reasons why you might not be able to create a detail group in elevation.
- No elements selected: In order to create a detail group, you need to select the elements that you want to include in the group. Make sure you have selected the elements in the elevation view that you want to include in the group.
- Group type selection: When creating a group, you need to select a group type. Make sure you have selected ‘Detail group’ as your group type.
- Elevation view is not active: Make sure that the elevation view you are trying to create the detail group in is active. If it is not active, select it from Project Browser or activate it by clicking on it.
- Constraints: Some elements may not be able to be grouped, depending on their parameters or constraints. For example, if two elements have conflicting constraints, they may not be able to be grouped together. Try grouping a smaller section of elements to see if that resolves the issue.
- Software Issue: There could be a technical issue with Revit that is preventing you from creating a detail group in elevation. In that case, you need to consult Autodesk support for assistance.
If you are still having trouble creating a detail group in elevation, you may want to try creating the group in a different view type such as a plan view or section view, and then inserting it into the elevation view.
