I would like to start a series of threads that would thoroughly tackle a few aspects of Revit. These aspects are those that especially hurt the novice-medium user.
WHY:
- I, as well as other users, got confronted with problems that were solved in the forum. The solutions sometimes don’t work. It is quite frustrating that after trying to fix it yourself, you get high hopes and in the end you still can’t have the right solution/workaround.
- In this way I’ll try to concentrate a few scattered threads dealing with the same problem.
RULES:
- please do not post stuff like “Revit in version 10 will do in for sure, the Factory knows it, etc.”. Stick to the current build.
- post the file in response. Please no more “try that to see if it works”.
- we all are using Revit. Unless necessary, please refrain from negative comments (“bah, if it can’t do this it’s worthless, XXX does it better”, etc.)
Enough talking.
Here goes the first one:
Category:
Structural Columns/ Framing
Description:
In the attached file, Revit fails to properly join the framing.
Solutions tried:
1. Changing the Column’s Family Category to Generic Models doesn’t fix the problem either. See file (2). It actually makes the problem worse.
2. I tried aligning the face of a beam. The result seems good, but it actually moves the beam.
Questions:
1. Is there any acceptable way to fix it? Solutions like moving it a bit further just don’t apply (I’m not going to slightly move dozens of beams)
Thank you all
