Angle snaps to 45 deg all the time

[Kenny Gee]

I'm drawing a wall at 134 deg 51' but the wall always snaps back to 135 deg when ever I extend the wall - even when I turn angle snaps the same thing happens. Trouble is im working on a tenancy where most of the walls are off axis.
Also whenever I offset lines they always snap to the 45 deg increment. How can I fix this as its really annoying

When extending the wall, if it tries to snap to an angle, try using the TAB key to release it from its automatic snap.

Thanks Andre but this doesn't help. The angle still snaps to 45 deg increments. Any other ideas????

You can turn off snaps by typing keyboard shortcut "SO". You can also change the angle snap distance by zooming in, closer. Revit uses the snap distances stored in the Snaps settings dialog to determine what temporary dimension values to display. Zoom out...bigger number...zoom in smaller numbers/fractions/decimals.

I would give up, draw the wall horizontal (or vertical) & then rotate it to the required angle. Place as necessary upon completion of rotation.

If the 'almost' 45 degree walls are all in the same place and the same angle, then create a new view and rotate the crop border to align with the weird angle. Now revit will snap your extensions to match that angle.

If you're dealing with lots of different angles, then I suggest you break your own arms and take sick pay as it's probably more fun
