Revit Legend not updating

[Anonymous]

I'm trying to update a legend, it has louver families in it. It will not update, even if I create a new legend it still brings in the olds sizes of louvers and not the new sizes of louvers. Any suggestions?

Hi,

may I ask which product you are speaking about?

Vanilla AutoCAD does not have any functionality with legends.

Hi @Anonymous,

Are these legends blocks with attributes?  If so, try using ATTSYNC or BATTMAN to get them to update. If you are using a different type of object can you give more detail or attach a sample file?

Thanks, what I did was save each family as a different one and re put them in.

Hi,

>> what I did was save each family as a different one

Also AutoCAD does not know anything about "families" ... which product are you using?

Because of "family" and "legend" I guess you landed in the wrong forum. The question is now which is the correct forum for your question.

It's a Revit louver family... Actually from Ruskin...

Well, then let's see if someone can move this thread to the Revit forum >>>there<<<.

As here is the AutoCAD forum not very much people will be able to understand your question and give valid suggestions.

Good luck, - alfred -

Are the old and new sizes in the same family?

I just saved the family with a different name, changed the original louver for the one with the new name, when I re-inserted the new one into the schedule it came in with the correct size. But basically is was re-doing the legend.

If the changed family had the same name, it would have over-written the old family and updated the legend.

I tried overwriting the Revit family at first. But it did not update, When I re-inserted the new louver size, the old size came in. This was a Revit family from Ruskin. Therefore I ended up creating six different families from the original family. Maybe it's just an awkward family. But nevertheless, I fixed it and I consider this closed...
