Re-Hosting Families

[Charles_Rose]

Good Morning All
Quick question to anyone that can answer. Re-hosting families. Hospital project with a number of phases, doors copied over to second phase to represent replacement are incorrectly hosted with an infill sitting in the same phase. Re-hosting works fine, however 1.Maintaining the exact position and 2.There are a lot of doors; make this a clunky process.
Any process to re-hosting in place and even more usefully re-hosting multiple elements in place?
Thanks for your time.

doors copied over to second phase
When you copy the existing doors to the new phase, are you using "Copy to Same Place"?


incorrectly hosted with an infill sitting in the same phase
When a door is demolished, there will be an infill that is created in the second phase. That is normal. Then when you place a new door, especially if it is the same size as the first, it will be hosted by the infill portion of that wall. That also is normal. Are you looking for a different behavior?

Hi Damon
Yes copy to same place is being done, but the doors are not hosting as they should (or as hoped!). They can be re-hosted and that works fine, but its 1. time consuming and 2. difficult to host them back in the same place.

Just tried it and was quite surprised by the results. I see what you are saying.

Also found a very strange way to fix what you want... after you paste to the same place, select all doors and use the Up arrow key to nudge up once, then the Down arrow key to nudge down once. They should be in the same place as they started and for some reason, it sorts out the hosting issue.

Well done! What a weird way for this to work. I'm assuming like the issues of copying rooms over into a new phase that the ID number of the doors don't somehow register with the host until they 'interact' with it. So bizarre. Anyway, Thanks!
