I am working on a building model and after a component is placed into the model, I am no longer able to rotate it. I left-click the component and use the rotate command on the Modify ribbon. It shows the normal UI for the rotation (the dashed blue line around the component + the blue circle point of rotation) and allows me to do everything that is expected, but does not actually rotate the object. I can only change rotation using Align or by inserting the component all over again.
I checked other files to see if perhaps there was some corruption in the file, but the same issue happens across the board.
I would be helpful to know some more specifics, such as what component you are unable to rotate in what View. Maybe even posting your file would speed up an answer.
So every single component in the Project is unable to be rotated? I'd say something has gone haywire at your end then. Maybe with the Project -- maybe not. Difficult to troubleshoot without the Project. Post the Project here so we can test.
...have you tried Auditing the Project? Did you recently install an Add-in?
I definitely agree something has gone wrong on my end - it's not just the project, it's every project. I recently installed Enscape 3.2 but I don't recall the issue being concurrent with that - I'm pretty sure it existed prior to that update. (To confirm this, I did uninstall Enscape for Revit but the problem persists.) It's likely not Project-specific because it occurs with any project I open, even a brand new project. I made a simple floor+walls+component project for your request, see attached. I also tried the audit, as you suggested, but nothing changed.
Possibly important to note - I have Education licensing.
I am having this problem with placed components as well. It just started today. I place a sofa, and it will not allow me to click on the sofa and rotate it. Yet, if I duplicate that same sofa a couple of times, I am able to rotate the second or thirdd copies. I can never rotate the original placed component even if I have rotated the copies. Did you ever find a solution to this?
Today the issue happened again. Seems to have been solved by unchecking "disjoin" under the rotate tool. I don't recall ever checking it in the first place, and have never actually used it at all - I didn't even know what it did, but if it works for now so be it. I have had this issue so many times and emailed AutoDesk about it and nobody thought to ask about disjoin, so hopefully posting this here will help someone out in the future. the weird thing about this time is that it affected some families but not other - I still don't understand what "disjoin" did to make my families stop rotating but whatever.
Un-checking "Disjoin" while in the rotate tool, but before rotating, solved the problem for me (Revit 2023, attempting to rotate a furniture system desk from the Autdesk Library)
I've been having the same issue for the past couple of months. For the previous couple of projects, I just ended up rotating the component orientation in the family itself (because nothing else was working). It was very time consuming and frustrating. Thank you for telling the solution. It really helped.
