- How to 3d rotate family in Revit? This video shows how to create Revit family to be able to rotate it into any direction.
Rotating elements in Revit is not a problem as long as you rotate it around the axis perpendicular to an element placement plane (host). However, there are situations where you want to be able to rotate an element around arbitrary plane in Revit without recreating the whole family again to be face based or such.
Read more here: www.engipedia....
Procedure is as follows:
1. Create new Generic Model Adaptive family
2. Create one Adaptive Point, click on the point
3. Set “Point” parameter to “Placement Point”
4. Next, set “Show Placement Number” to “When Selected”
5. Load original family that you want to rotate (a book from this example)
6. Place it in the new family and lock to one adaptive point plane (one is more than enough)
7. Load adaptive family into a project, create instance (on a level or any other reference)
8. Click on the adaptive point (you’ll need to tab it a little)
9. Turn off instance parameter “driven by host”
10. Rotate into any position
If needed, set workplane on which you want to rotate and rotate again
Beautiful and elegant solution to a frustrating problem that shouldn't exist.
I can’t believe that I spent about 3 hours solving this problem!
Thanks!! it's a nightmare to manipulate geometry in R but with this is more bearable. Again, thank you, you saved my day.
Thanks for taking time to produce most helpful.
Thank you so much!! greetings from Brazil
THANK U SO MUCH U SAVED MY LIFE LOL and its so ridiculous WE CANT JUST ROTATE THEM ANYWHERE WTF REVITTTT
Thanks for this! - I thought Revit was supposed to save time not make the simplest thing a nightmare?
Tell me about it :D
@@Engipedia its not a 3d engine. Its a 2d engine with 3d tools. Thats how it was developed in the late 1990's. I don't think 99.9% of the Revit users understand that. Every add on tool that's been added is a work around. The 3d space is a viewer with minimal 3d functionality. It has to be done via their tools and going back to the 2d space to manipulate. There were 100's of better developed programs similar to this in the 90's and early 2000's. No idea why Autodesk didn't look outside their own backyard for a better developed software. Industry is stuck with this now
SUPER HELPFUL!! THANKS!!
This is Genius! Thank you man!
Thank you a lot! Is there a possibility to use align command with adaptive family and do not rotate manually ?
excelent! i wish you can also redo this technique on latest version of revit, since most of us has the updated version, please notity! thanks!
i second this-
i cant seem to use this tutorial it's not the same workflow in the new revit versions
this tutorial still holds to this date
This video saved my life!
Hi, firstly thank you for this valuable video. I am triying to rotate a steel beam. But i can not load that beam into adaptive family? It doesn't show up. Can you pls help me?
Hi, I don't know if that's possible. Have you tried changing the category of the family from Structural Framing to, for example, Generic Models and then insert it into adaptive one?
Thanks a lot, really helpful
hmmm tried to do this with a bolt.... would not load the adapdive family.
Same here
Create a regular family, like bolt (in Generic Models or in some Structural category). Then, load this regular family into adaptive family, not the other way around. Then load adaptive family into project: Bolt > Adaptive Family > Project.
@@Engipedia This should be included in the steps! Else you just added additional problem!
Is it still working in the newer versions? I'm using the 2020 version and, basically, it just help to rotate at the reference level (which is already possible).
Magic, thanks a lot
Thank you!
i have a pringles chips shape family and when i try to follow the video. the adaptive point gets hidden by the family in the middle not the edge and when i try to move it it says ( constrains are not satisfied )
and also for me the orientation to doesn't have the option to host reference it has Host(xyz)
If you want, you can send me that family to check it out.
Why the family loaded into the project is grey? and no material colors are applied.
I found and not sure, that to be a shared family from the properties.
The worst of this method is that we lost all our parameters or maximum we can share them for viewing and not management.
Many Thanks!!!
Works very well! Could it be done using two parameters for X- and Y-angle? Thx :)
I believe it could be done, haven't tried though.
Have you done this with a family that has instance parameters that need to be accessible in a Revit model?
Hi, I am not sure I fully understand what you mean, I assume you want to have access to instance parameters of (for example) that book? If yes, one way of doing it is replicating same instance parameters in "host" family so you have access to it. The other way is checking "book" family as "Shared" then in project you can tab-select it and use its parameters. Does that make sense to you?
Thank you
MUITO BOM ME AJUDOU BASTANTE OBRIGADO.
how do you enable that gimbal that you have on objects?
You mean reference point with that coordinate system arrows displayed? Please see the video from ua-cam.com/video/cb3MEkR5H3c/v-deo.html to 1:16 then ua-cam.com/video/cb3MEkR5H3c/v-deo.html till 3:00
Nice trick! Like!
Is it possible to make rotation around specified axis using parameter value instead of manual rotation?
Maybe, but I haven't managed to do it.
Obrigado... (Thanks)
Thanks you very much
YOU ARE MY SAVIOR
Nice
Get error when trying to load the adaptive family into a generic family, says cant load
You can't load generic adaptive family into (regular) generic family. Follow the steps from the video, it's says to load generic model family into adaptive family (where adaptive point is).
謝謝，我的蓮蓬頭站起來辣WAHAHAHA
A five minute video on how to rotate an object in modelspace.....goes to show how shit the rest of REVIT is to use.
This tooo much work for a simple flip omg
Missing some steps for the beginners!
Sorry to hear that but have in mind that this was not suppose to be a beginners video, otherwise it would be too long. Do you have some specific improvement in mind you would like to propose?
Hello, I´m a beginner and actually I´m having trouble following these steps... By any chance, do you have a better tutorial where I can fix this problem?
Really so complicated Revit, I hate the Revit families
Thanks it help a lot.
thank you! It's a big help for me😊
Thank you!
Thank you!
