    Default extrusion troubles,"Edit Extrusion" button missing

    I am trying to use the extrusion command on a generic family I've made the square object and clicked the finish button, but now there is no option under the Mode tab to modify the extrusion. I'm about to pull my hair out right now because I need to create a custom roof and using the "generic model roof based" as a starting point I can't even get the extrusion command to close as there is no cancel or finish buttons to click. WTF!?!?!

    Let me guess - you're using 2014? I've had the same problem along with another person in my office. Normally I would say this is a memory issue with my computer but we just got new machines and I have 16GB of RAM so I'm doubtful that has anything to do with it. However, I've treated this like I've treated memory problems in the past and restarted Revit and that seems to do the trick. I'm thinking this is a bug in the software and am *hoping* Autodesk fixes this soon.

    I believe some of that may be related to graphics and/or graphics drivers. It's happened to me several times in 2013 also, but really only on this one project that was getting pretty "messy" late in the game.

    No, I am using Revit 2013. After digging a little deeper it seems to be an issue that was fixed within Service e Pack #2. I was able to update with Service Pack #1, but now can not seem to get S.P. #2 to install, it keeps saying something along the line of "Revit program is not where install thinks it should be and there for update wont run"

    Service Pack #2 installed and seems to have fixed the issue. "Edit Footprint" is back along with the extrusion tools.

    I'm trying to download SP2 and not only has it taken over 2 hours to download, but when I went to run the install I got an error saying
    "A problem prevented the Update Release from being installed. Contact your system admin" - yeah, I'm the system admin and I have no idea what the problem is. Guess I'll try to downloading for the 3rd time and see what happens. My internet is crazy slow today so I'm sure that's not helping.

    Try rebooting computer and then log in to Autodesk and run the SP from their website rather then downloading and running on your computer. That's what finally did the trick for me.

    It took 3 tries but I finally got it to download and install. SP2 seems to have fixed the problem - at least the ones I'm having in 2013. Now I need to figure out the issues with 2014

    Thanks for the help everyone!
