Hello,
quite a annoying issue as i've encountered this countless of times before.
Revit seems to be extremely unstable when it comes to placing a simple extrusion on a reference line in order to make it rotatable.
I've learned this trick years ago and it has worked for hundreds of families.
However from time to time i run into the same issue where revit simply refuses to do so.
My current family is nothing more than a single round extrusion which needs to rotate. It's impossible as revit refuses to place the extrusion on a reference line.
My workflow:
Make extrusion.
Open new family and create angle parameter in the front view using a reference line from the center.
test the reference line angle parameter by setting it to 0 degrees and 90 degrees. Works flawless.
Next load in the workplane based extrusion that i just created.
Select the extrusion family in the editor and change it's workplane to the reference line, does nothing.
Edit workplane and selecting 'pick a plane' then selecting the reference line also does nothing.
Revit does not apply the extrusion to the reference line, something which has worked for years suddenly Revit is incapable of.
i've uploaded the family in case anyone is curious to take a peek. I need the extrusion to lie horizontally in the middle which it currently does not do.
On top of that i can't to seem to edit the nested family within this family at all anymore, any idea why that happens as the family is basically 'broken' now?
