- Element Is Slightly Off Axis
This warning is triggered by elements based on lines that are misaligned —by 1x(10^-9) to .2 degrees— in either the horizontal or vertical directions, or with a line at 45 degrees to the horizontal/vertical direction. - Ceiling Sketch Is Invalid
Ceiling geometry is not generated as expected. - Floor Sketch Is Invalid
Floor geometry is not generated as expected. - Dimension Cannot Be Made Constraining
Reference dimensions cannot act as constraints. - Element Is Too Small on Screen
Revit prevents you from accidentally drawing the element, typically a wall, reference plane, or line, if it is less than 1mm (1/32") on the screen. In some situations, there is also a minimum threshold for moving an element.
