Good afternoon all,
First, I am not a Revit user - well now I am apparently (I am a C3D person), I am trying to finish a project for our company. Someone made some beams and columns for an elevated train and now I am required to do some edits. I was asked to rotate and move the model to the proper location. The move portion is not that difficult - it is rotate. When I rotate the beams - parts of them do not rotate with them. They remain where they are. Needlesss to say that is not good. I was going to group them and then group everything together, but I have read the nested groups are bad. Any thoughts on how I can fix this????
Thanks

Difficult to say without knowing how they were modeled. Can you post that portion of the project for use to look at?
Hi
seems part of the beams are modelled in-place..
make sure you select all the elements and then rotate.. ( also use " Disjoin" " if required.
Cheers
Let me figure out how to do that and I could. I have a new respect for you Revit people.
@Corsten.AuI would not be able to tell you if the were modeled in place because I did not do that portion. I did group them and attempted a rotate - same results. I attached a screen shot if it helps.
I faced same problem before with my wall and its parts rotation, I don't know the the actual solution for it, but I can tell you how I solved that.
Just turn off the 'Parts' from visibility graphics, then move and rotate the main parent object. after that turn 'Parts' again on.
I don't know is it applicable for structural beam parts or not, but you can try once.
Thanks.
I think I was able to get it to size down and export - still kinda big.
What a mess. I feel your pain. 1005 elements; 144 of them slightly of slightly off axis -- and may cause inaccuracies. Think?
Look. I tried several approaches; one kind of worked. Here's what I did step-by-step. Heck if I know if it'll work for you, but try it and see. What's the worse that could happen?
1. Go to a 3D View.
2. Turn off the Import Category
3. Zoom to Fit
4. Set View to Wireframe
5. Window-Select EVERYTHING is the View
6. Open up the Filter Dialog Box on the Contextual Tab and uncheck every Checkbox -- EXCEPT MODEL GROUPS.
7. Click "Ungroup" on the Contextual Tab. This will ungroup every Model Group in the Project (as long a followed Step #5).
8. Window-Select EVERYTHING is the View (Yes; again)
9. "Group" the Selection. Name it "MessyMess" (optional)
10. Select "MessyMess" Group and pick "Link" from the Contextual Tab
11. Click on Replace with a New Project, name it "MessyMessLink" (optional) and save it. "MessyMess" Model Group is now converted to "MeesyMessLink"
12. NOW ROTATE THE "MessyMessLink" LINK IN YOUR PROJECT.
I would tell you to Bind the Link at this point to make it resident in the Project -- unforturnatey, Bind ain't working. Probably for the same reasons the Elements in it couldn't be Rotated in the first place. So, it's permanently a Link -- unless somebody can figure out how to Bind the **** thing.
That's my best shot.
Good Luck.
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!! That worked. I am not going to worry about them being a link - they can figure that part out.
Much appreciated!
