I included the following tips and advice (edited a little in this version) in a door tutorial I wrote for my Autodesk University 2005 lab called "Autodesk Revit Building Family Editor: From the Beginning". This was a bug and has supposedly been fixed in the releases following 2005.]. Skin - solids/voids and model/symbolic lines.

The fundamental day-to-day business processes of the Engineering, Construction, Owner, and Operations sector are changing. That said, major cultural change must occur in order to make significant progress. The efficient life-cycle management of the built environment will not happen until change management is accelerated.

In this image the massing has been created aligned with the "site" but weve realized that it would be easier to document if Project North were aligned along one building edge. As I wrote in my reply there, RTN is sleight of hand while RPN is really altering the entire model and related views to change orientation. Older Post.

I was musing about a recent conversation where one guys position was that BIM is hype, unnecessary and worse really just being foisted upon our profession in a scheme to get more money from "us". It seems to me this notion of using Revit (BIM) and "us" isnt all that different. Friday, July 27, 2012. Due Diligence. The soluton?

I used a pair of model lines (assigned to Invisible) to govern the location of the arc and line endpoints. It also means that the family will break if one of these segments is flex too far, assuming the changes result in a zero length segment. What you describe as working doesn't work on the model lines in my example.

I think that it is natural to be inclined toward building very parametric families. However, as fast as some design solutions change a single solution family might get built quicker than the one we make trying to anticipate how it might change. As soon as we see what is possible, why not? 11:20 AM. stimmo520 said.
