edit arcs

edit arcs

I find it very difficult to edit arcs in Revit.  I wish the program would allow you to easily move an endpoint of an arc similar to the way Autocad allows you to manipulate arcs.

Our Interior Designers would love this.

They often have a change of material (carpet to tile or even different carpet colors) that runs in an arc.

When something moves and they have to change the arc, they have no choice but to delete at arc and re-draw it.

One of the (very few) things I miss from AutoCAD.

@leilani.gnall-gregory: Absolutely. It seems that BIM elements and CAD elements don't get along very well in Revit. I wish Revit would me more CAD-friendly. I mean like Graitec Advance Design is. It has CAD elements that get along with BIM structural elements quite well. Snapping  grips seems to be part of the problem. The logic of binding/locking CAD and BIM elements together should include specific points, not just lines and planes.

P.S. Revit should be more scientific and less artistic.

Arcs - Yes! and easier manipulation of splines -- in Archicad it's a piece of cake to edit all curved linetypes and switch between straight or curved or splined segments -- why can't Revit have this functionailty!?!
