Ok, here is an official bug, as official as a guy like me can make it.
Splitting sections are a great addition to the software. When you cut a section it is originally straight, then you can split it and move a segment to either one direction or the other. Let's call the original section cut location A-A, let's call the splitting section segment B-B (A-A and B-B are the same section cut, just split). All is still great.
Let's say we look at the section, and it is accurate, and we want to edit the cut profile. Hmm, editing the cut profile on A-A works as the earliest Revit user remembers. Editing the cut profile on B-B doesn't work because it isn't on the same plane of A-A (those familiar with this problem in editing cut profiles in floor plans and later changing the range of the cut plan will simpathize [spell check didn't work ;s] a bit)
Ok, this is a Bug for sure, but if somebody is understanding the situation and has some indepth experience with Revit (the insides and outs) would you suggest a possible workaround? I know that I can draw lines and make some lines of the model invisible, etc. But was just wondering if there is a way to use the great "edit cut profile" tool. I tried, once activated the command, to try to choose the work plane to the location of the section cut but failed to make that location my work plane.
I give people 'till next year to give me an answer!!!! :lol: If no answer that means "tuff" luck until a future release!!!!
Peace,
P.S.
Paolo, se leggi questo messagio, scusa se non ti ho risposto, ma la vita e' diventata piu' spericolata!!!
