I want to create sections parallel to beams that are at random angles (in plan).
How do you get the section to align parallel to it?
See attached screen shot with several beams at various angles.
Sections won't allow you to align or even snap to it, so you have to find out the angle and rotate the section by typing in the desired rotation angle.
Just one more thing to add to the long list of simple things Revit won't do!
Obtain the angle of the angled element;
Depends on what you are aligning to. My markers automatically align in most instances just fine.
That's a lot of f*****g around when it should be able to snap to the object you want it parallel to.
Revit making things difficult since 19??!
I think your "U", "C", "K", "I" and "N" keys are broken, dude. Probably cookie crumbs in the keyboard. he, he.
Alternatively, you could draw a new section and Revit will highlight the gridline when you are parallel.

Yeah, sections will not snap to beams, walls, yep, beam nope. ![]()

Oh, did I say "most instances" instead of "wall instances"? My bad. Must be the cookie crumbs in my keyboard.
use the pick line tool for a reference plane....use a framing elevation which will align automatically or the section will snap to the reference plane.

Sweet.
Match Rotation plugin is your friend . I use it to match section boxes as well - super useful.
