Hello
I am somewhat new to revit and have asked a few friends about this. Nobody seems to understand why it is happening. I have all my levels set up. The floors are placed according to levels and walls are on top of the floors. I am using imported dwgs with arcs and lines to build the floors and walls using the pick tool.
Whenever I try to edit the floor boundary in any way, the error "The constraints of the sketch defining the highlighted element cannot be satisfied."(see attached screenshot). The only way I have been able to edit the floor is by either cutting the walls, editing, and pasting them back. Or by moving the floor (any minimal amount), editing it and moving it back into place. This is inefficient for a highrise, and I loose any attached, joined or room tags.
I narrowed it down to deleting a single wall on the level and it allowed me to edit the boundary. On a different level I did the same but by narrowing it down to a different random wall. Is it possible that revit cannot handle arcs very well?
I modeled the floors independently, not using a mass, and have no other design options. I tried copying the information to a different file and to no avail. I also had an issue with 2 random walls, attempting to delete them would give me the same error message, forcing me to ether delete the floor or cancel and leave everything as it was.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions!!
Gelöst! Gehe zur Lösung
I did use the pick wall tool.
But I also tried it by drawing over the DWG using the line tool and snapping to the endpoints of the DWG and it was the same issue. Could the problem be that I am snapping to the DWG, even without the pick line tool? is there no way around this if I need to use the DWG as a reference?
seems to be working when drawn separately.
Could this be a bug I can contact autodesk about looking into??
Hmmm... I guess contacting Autodesk may be your answer. It sounds like when you draw your walls, it is attempting to lock each end to the dwg intersection. If you delete the cad drawing from your revit project, does that solve the issue? For now, maybe you will just have to build your walls, delete the dwg and then reinsert the dwg in the same place if you still need it for reference.
Just a thought; is your dwg linked or imported? Maybe the problem is in the dwg and not in the revit? Try "flatten" in autocad, then purge. Save and then reload into Revit and maybe it will reset the glitch.
I dont need the reference after it is built on revit. But deleting it did not solve the issue. I was linking the CAD files. I checked the original. Seems to be flat on the Z plane.
1. If I understood correctly, you are able to edit a floor after you move or delete at least one wall that sits on top of that floor. Is this correct?
2. If that is correct, I suspect you mean to say that you just aren't able to SELECT the floor for editing while the walls are over the edges of it.
3. If THAT is correct, then just turn on the Select Elements by Face option near the bottom right-hand side of your Revit window. Then you will be able to select the floor just by clicking anywhere on it instead of having to click an edge which is covered by a wall.
Sorry for a very old reply - not sure which answer was the one that worked here, but I'm having the same problem. Element is not pinned in my case. No matter how I created the floor I get the same error. I've tried tracing the element with model lines and then using those to create a new floor. Same error results. I try changing the floor type...same error happens. This appears to be a glitch in Revit. Anyone else have another solution or workaround?
Doesn't work. See example file. Attempt your solution then, change the level of the slab and attempt to edit boundary. It will fail and reveal the glitch...unless you see some other limitation?
That's unfortunate. Well, there's the limitation then: a floor of a certain size generates an error with its boundaries. Glitch confirmed!
I am also facing the same problem while creating subregion in Massing and Site.
Any possible solutions?
The problem seems to be only for the highlighted part in orange color.
Is it because two subregions are overlapping somewhere? or Is it some other problem? The error message doesn't seem to clarify the issue correctly.
