Since installing Revit 2017, when I try to place a structural Connection component, they family type list says no matches. Shown in the pic..
General component families like (like desks, chairs, trees, and user created ones) work fine, but i have to click a previously created one and hit "Create Similar" Then the the family types will be listed, Including the structural Connections.
Only seems that when a Structural connection was placed last or currently selected, the types list shows no matches.
Structural Connection Component:
Generic Model Component:
Solved! Go to Solution.
I'm having the exact same problem. Placing a component, and only a component has this issue, the list comes up empty, but it's clearly loaded in the model. Need a fix ASAP.
Thanks!
What view are you placing them in? They may be workplane based so they need to be placed in a Floor plan or 3D view and not in a section view. Since they look 3D that would be the case. Detail Items (2D elements) would be placed in a Section view.
I'll be sure to post the solution here when I get it.
Aloha!
Hey everyone,
The issue has been submitted to development and I have created the following link on the Knowledge Network:
There is a slight lag from when the article is created to when it is published live, so if the link does not work yet please try again later today.
You can use this link to track the status of the investigation as the development team progresses.
I'm sorry for the trouble this causes to your workflow, but thank you for reporting the behavior so we can work to address it.
Just ran into this issue or something similar, and we are running on Service Pack 1 and 2. Our problem was a Structural Connection was loaded in the Workshared project, but not displaying in some users properties drop down/ component list and when reloaded by the user it was not placing the correct Structural Connection component. Our workaround was to drag and drop the item from the Families list in the Project Browser.
Normally you can just hit the space bar.
