Displaced label text in section head family

[Anonymous]

Hi! I've made a custom section head family for a project, but I have an issue with text placement.

As you can see, my labels don't rotate with my sections! The south-facing section is showing the box I made for the text, but the text itself is hovering over the other north-facing section... This is my first time trying this, so there might be some tips and tricks I don't know about? How can I solve this problem? 

Thank you so much in advance!

Let's see it. Post the Family.

Thanks for replying so quickly! I've attached it 🙂

I consider myself an experienced Revit-user, but families and the configuration of them, especially annotations is still new, haha.

Did you start this family from a Section Head Template?  It's missing the intelligent  "Rotate with Section" Line.

No, I modified an existing one, so it's strange it wasn't already there... In what drop-down can I find this setting? And is this the only thing I have to fix, in that case? 🙂 

Thank you so much for your help so far!

No. It would still need to be reconfigured.

Are you on 2021 yet?

No, I'm still using 2019, and a student-version at that, as I don't work professionally with Revit at this moment. Does the student-version pose any problems?

No difference. Just better pricing.  😉

...oh, there are some new bells and whistles is 20 and 21.  Nothing to write home about.

So, I searched, and apparantly the 2019 version is the problem, haha. Guess that's why you asked? 😄 So, I'll just have to stick to the existing ugly bubble-head, haha.

Hi, I had this problem this week and the Autodesk support told me it is a Revit bug that hasn't been fixed with Revit 2021. We should post the idea on the Revit Ideas forum!
I think at present there's no solution.

Thanks
