In a recent Revit Architecture 2011 project the contractor required each apartment to be dimensioned. Each apartment was a model group, and we put dimensions in an attached detail group. For common walls and fasade walls (not in the apartment model group) we put locked reference planes in the model group, so we could dimension to them (and keep the dimensions in the attached detail group).
Now in a 2012 project we have to do the same thing with dimensions. We edited the apartment model group, and drew reference planes, then finished the group. You know when you hover the mouse over a group it has the dashed purple selection boundary? The reference planes have their own boundary as if they were their own group! Selecting the reference planes and selecting the apartment, they have the exact same group name, but different "reference levels".
Then, we could not dimension to the reference planes in our attached detail group, because I suppose it treated the reference planes as their own group (not part of the apartment model group.
There must be something different about how 2012 is handling reference planes and groups?
