Best practice - upper cabinets (wall hosted)

[tonyisenhoff]

Any suggestions on best practice for the following:

Casework (upper & base cabinets), within a group because they are going to be placed multiple times within the project. Currently, all upper cabinets are wall hosted & I already have unit plans with the walls waiting for the casework. I only want to place the group with the cabinets, not with the walls.

As you can see, since upper cabinets are currently a hosted element, I'm forced to double up on the wall... (once in the group, and again in my unit plan)

It seems like a pain to re-create the casework as non-hosted. Any other thoughts or suggestions?

hmm I just did some cabinets, both base and upper, made a group, and then placed another instance of that same group in another room. I think Revit complained about something when I placed the group, probably having to do with the fact that the wall-hosted cabinets didn't have a wall host within the group, but it ended up going in just fine. Have you tried it yet?
