View Full Version : Arrays in In Place Families - Duplicate Warning

I've got a series of radial arrays of shared seat families for an auditorium seating layout, that are all within an in-place family to help keep things neat. When I go to edit the in-place family, i get an "identical instance" warning for a bunch of the chairs. I've checked and this is not the case. Maybe it's due to the fact that revit keeps a ghosted version of the original family state while you're in the editor? The warning remains when I close the in-place editor. The warning review also I'd rather not have 200 duplicate warnings that I can't get rid of. Anybody experienced this problem?

**Update. If I try to resolve the warnings, nothing appears to happen. When I edit the IP family, everything appears kosher. Then when I close the editor all my chairs disappear.

I tried to recreate your problem, and got the exact same Warnings ! (Is it a bug ?) Never had this problem before, but then again... I would never make that as an In-Place family in the first place - Instead I´d make a furniture(system) family, which could be controlled by parameters.

Just my two cents worth :beer:
