Hi All,
I have a large suspended ceiling in my projectm which is 1200 x 600 tiles.
I have created the ceiling easily enough but the tile pattern is running 1200 vertically x 600 wide (plan view) when I need it to run 600 vert x 1200 wide.
Is it a simple case of having to create a new survace pattern or is there a way you can tell Revit which way you want the tiles to run?

Just use the Rotate Tool on the "grid". Model patterns can be rotated and moved.

Hover your cursor over a grid line and click to select it, just the grid line.
Click the Rotate Tool
Position the origin or simply click once on screen to define the first ray of an angle
Click a second point on screen to define an angle or just type 90, press enter.

Similar process to reposition the grid relative to side walls except you can use Move or perhaps the Align tool.
