Bugs in room separation lines

[MikeJarosz]

I have been doing lots of room separation lines lately. Rarely in Revit do I encounter what I think is an out-and-out bug, but I think I got one here.......

Using a simple floor slab:


Click room separation lines
select "pick from existing lines"
set offset to 18"
click edge of slab - one edge selects OK
hit tab - chain refuses to select (chain is checked)
hit escape to quit - doesn't work
switch to draw line or rectangle, away from pick existing line
escape now will work.


This is driving me crazy because my floor slabs are many-sided polygons. Because chain select doesn't work, I have to do one side at a time. That doesn't clean up the corners. :banghead:

BTW, if I select a slab edge outside of the room separator and hit tab, the same slab edges will create a chain every time!. After doing this a few times, the chain will work inside of room separator.

Has anyone else seen this happen?

Change the sequence of steps, like this:



Click room separation lines
set offset to 18"
select "pick lines"
hover the mouse over one edge until you see the dashed blue line on the correct side.
hit the tab key, twice.
