Revit Architecture 2008

 I created a group that represents a modular panel system that will be prefabricated offsite and craned onto the building piece by piece. Because there is a window within this group it will only move along the plane it was originally placed in. Therefore,if I use the copy tool and pull the group down to an elevation in a different orientation and rotate it to orient the panel properly it will still only move in the orientation of the original placement. Why is this happening and what can I do to make propagation easier. I've been using copy/paste, but it is inconsistent.

No, I'll give that a shot, what bugs me is why can't I just copy, paste and rotate into place like in ADT,SKP etc. I am a new user.

Revit has a slightly different way of doing things. Whenever there are new tasks that I can get seem to work with Revit, I'm always tempted to go back to 15 years of Autocad expertise. What I learned so far is that what matters most to Revit is, "you give the data and Revit draws it for you. Sounds simple! It's really not that easy doing half of a duplex house and mirroring it after your done, just like you would in Autocad or any 2D draft. Parameters control things in Revit and you would face them alot as you dig. Enjoy!
