Hello fellow Revit enjoyers!
I'm currently working on large 40-ish storey building in Revit 2023. Trying my best to efficiently use new analytical model paradigm. I use SOFiSTiK as structural analysis tool and it has so called AMG (analytical model generator) plugin for Revit. As far as I can tell, it works slighlty better then Revit built-in tool, so I'm using it to generate analytical model within Revit.
Although, as I said, in my opinion AMG works slightly better, that doesnt mean that it is flawless. And sometimes I need to make manual adjustments to generated analytical model.
For example, on the picture below you can see redundant point in analytical panel contour.
I delete it by editing analytical panel boundary (as it can cause problems during mesh generation in SOFiSTiK).
After making my adjustments to analytical panel boundary, I click "Finish Edit Mode" button, and Revit starts applying them. The problem is that it's very SLOW - Revit freezes for ~2 minutes for each edited analytical panel. And if I need to make 3 adjustments on each of 40 storeys, it'll take me about 4 hours. Which is, in my book, time spent rather unproductively.
I also noticed this - freeze time seems to be proportional to overall number of analytical elements in my model. For instance, if I delete all elements except one storey, any change merely takes seconds. This fact makes me believe that are some kind of underlying invisible links (dependencies, relations, ...) between analytical elements which are updated each time I edit one of them. I've searched for ways to disable these links (at least temporarily) but no luck there.
So my question is - have anyone experienced similar issue and is there more efficient way to manually edit analytical members?
P.S. I've tried editing analytical elements with SOFiSTiK plugin turned off, so I'm fairly certain that it has nothing to do with the issue.
