Revit Section tool does not snap to objects in general. This is useful in situations when we have, for example, a wall running across several stories and we want to divide it into pieces (walls per story) but, at the same time, we do not want to lose and model doors/windows (or other wall hosted elements) again. Create new wall and do the “Paste > Aligned to same place” action.Delete or move the old wall (this action will also delete all hosted elements of that wall, including those you just copied).Select door/window instance(s), do “Copy to clipboard” (Ctrl + C).To change door or window wall host without modeling or placing door/window again (and keeping it at the same place and of the same type) is easy: Just click on an object instance and then onto Revit View Cube – Revit will zoom to that selected object. In 3D Revit view, it’s possible to do zoom-to-selection without additional add-in application. So now you can control different types of object styles inside your project without going into the Family Editor.Post Views: 6,488 Project model environment The change is global, it applies to all door types – single, double, or whatever type.

In a plan view, you might want to show the door swing for all your doors with a dashed line and a particular colour or lineweight.

Object styles allow you to control the appearance of multiple component types.įor example, there are often multiple door types within a project. Object styles are applied in every view and can be overridden in a particular view by modifying the Visibility/Graphics settings.


You can use object styles to control the appearance of components and subcomponents.
