Revit attachted detail groups

Revit attachted detail groups

I've an idea to improve a revit functionality, which I think should be the basic of the program we use daily with all my colleagues of Dura Vermeer.

 

The idea is:

To add the possibility to select all groups :símbolo_del_pulgar_hacia_arriba: 

Activate all the detail groups :símbolo_del_pulgar_hacia_arriba:

And this should activate the detail groups in all sheats :símbolo_del_pulgar_hacia_abajo:

 

Example:

I use within projects sometimes more than 20 groups within different sheats.

Right now I need to activate the detail groups for each sheat.

 

Kind regards,

Marwan

What are you trying to achieve with this? What is you objective? Why do you need to activate all detail groups? If you could elaborate it a little more it would help to understand your intent better.

I disagree with the comment about the basics of the program just because the perfect program for everyone doesn't exist. But I understand his frustration, because in Revit we have to go through all the views way too much to get anything done.


Groups can be useful, you create them in one place with detail group and all and then copy them everywhere. However, you must go through all the views to make sure the annotation is correct. Wouldn't it be nice if it could be easier?

 

For example, suppose you have a residential tower with many of the same apartments on different levels. You have to go to each view of each level to assign the detail group to the apartments.
If you have several display scales, you must now do this for each scale. If you have several output views, you have to do it all over again.

 

We can use 'select all' -> 'visible in view' and assign a detail group, that's handy. But we can't do this with 'select all' -> 'in entire project'. This probably has to do with the fact that Revit doesn't know on which views or levels you want to place the detail groups.
Maybe that can be solved in a similar way how we can copy/paste elements to selected views/sheets.

I don't know exactly, but maybe Marwan would be helped if he could run 'select all' -> 'in entiry project' and then select which views (or views on selected sheets) to use to map the detail groups .

Dear @m.alalkam @e.assinck ,

 

All I am trying to do is to understand the intent better so we can engage more effectively.

 

Groups reminds me of a situation where  4 detail lines were grouped together to make a rectangle. And it was used in every views and sheets possible. Now we can argue all day long the pros and cons of such a process. At the end the intention to make a rectangular shape could have been solved in lot of different ways. Thus I am not wanting to make assumptions. If the owner of this post could elaborate a little further perhaps we could engage better to share our thoughts, experiences, and brainstorm to help him discover alternative solutions. 

 

I have seen many examples where Revit was being used like AutoCAD. While it is possible to do that, it will hit a roadblock quite easily. 

 

Having said, I think I understand the importance of groups and how we can use them effectively. See if the link below makes sense. This is just one of many use cases.
