Trying to go back to Revit after a long break as I have to make a ton of families for Revit in the near future. I am having a hard time grasping the logic with the drafting.
For example if I am creating an extrusion in the ref level. I start by drawing a rectangle with one side aligned with the horizontal reference plane. I then lock the alignment of the line with the horizontal reference plane by clicking the red lock symbol. Then I click the measurement on the left side of the rectangle, measuring the depth of the to-be extrusion. When I change the value, I would assume the rectangle would stretch from the end that is not constrained to the reference plane, but no. I get an error when Revit tries to stretch the rectangle from the constrained side. Why?!
What is the logic behind this? Is there a tutorial that could help me understand this?
I know this might not be the correct way of working with Revit but nevertheless I would like to learn the logic behind the way the program works.
I have worked with other cad programs for years and maybe I am stuck on a different logic.
