Rotating Area Plans

[Steve Jager]

I have created four different areas in the same building. When I go to rotate the building because I need to, the areas do not follow. They get messed up. Any magic here to make them stay in the areas they define?

If I lock the area lines to the walls and rotate it says constraints not satisfied and unlocks them.

what is the reason that you are rotating the building? this might not help but you can rotate your crop region and it keeps all your building intact. there are some good threads about this.

Sorry i cant help you with the area plan, if you need do need to rotate your building

Sorry I can't help you with this, but I have a similar situation. I need to rotate a building I have created as well. We are relocating it on the proposed site, so rotation is going to be necessary. My building has three sections of curtain wall, which are behaving badly when rotating. The same thing happens ... Revit says it cannot keep elements joined, so you are forced to unjoin or delete them. Also problems with constraints not being satisfied. On my first attempt, I actually lost most of the exterior walls that were attached to the curtain walls. Any suggestions would be appreciated - I have been trying and then "un-doing" because I do not want to draw the curtain walls all over again.

I think your best solution would be to cut/paste the site stuff to a separate Revit project, and then link the building into the site, or if you choose, visa/versa.
