Use the following tools to modify the selected fabrication part.
When you select a fabrication part in the drawing area, the Modify | Fabrication Parts tab provides the following options for modifying the layout for a fabrication part:
Edit Part: opens the
Edit Part dialog where you can edit parameters for dimensions and connectors.
Attach to Structure: attaches the selected hanger to a structural element. Structural categories include floor, roof, structure framing (such as beam or truss), stairs, and slabs.
Optimize Lengths: optimizes the straight lengths of generic ductwork by adding, removing, or modifying lengths of straight segments.
Note: If a straight is pinned or part of a group, it will not be optimized.
Rotate 45 Degrees / Rotate 90 Degrees: rotates the selected fitting around its connector in 45 or 90 degree increments.
Note: This functionality is available only to students and to Autodesk Maintenance and Desktop Subscription customers for Revit 2016 software releases.-
Rotate 180 Degrees: rotates a tap 180 degrees around a branch connector.
Note: This functionality is available only to students and to Autodesk Maintenance and Desktop Subscription customers for Revit 2016 software releases.
Toggle Connector: toggles the connector. You also press the up arrow. Toggling the connector modifies which connector is oriented to the selected connection location.
When you select a fabrication part and click
(Expand Modify Tools), the following tools are available in the drawing area for modifying the layout for a fabrication part:
Flip Fabrication Part: rotates a tap 180 degrees around a branch connector.
-
Toggle Connector: toggles the connector. Toggling the connector modifies which connector is oriented to the selected connection location.
Rotate Counterclockwise /
Rotate Clockwise: rotates a round fitting, tap, or in-line equipment when it is connected to another part.
Edit Rotation Angle: edits the angle of rotation. Click the value for the angle in the rotate control. To reset the fitting to its default angle of rotation, in a 3D view, click Align to plan, and in all other views, click Align to view plane.
Note: This functionality is available only to students and to Autodesk Maintenance and Desktop Subscription customers for Revit 2016 software releases.
When you select a hanger, the following tools are available in the drawing area for modifying the position of the hanger bearer:
Lock/Unlock: locks or unlocks the relative position between the hanger rod and the duct. When you reposition the hanger rod, the lock/unlock control appears. By default, the hanger rod maintains its relative position with the duct (locked), so that when you move the duct, hanger rod will move with it. When unlocked, the duct will move independently of the hanger rod, and the rod will maintain its current position on the structure.
Note: These controls are not available for hangers placed on fittings.
