Hi All:

I am very new to Revit. I have created a solid shape in Rhino and created a new mass family with this shape by importing it as a DXF. I've inserted the new family into my project and I would like to now change the properties from a general mass object to a concrete object. Also, is it possible to manipulate this object's dimensions in Revit? Any help is greatly appreciated. Please see attached image.

Hi, when you import the object to revit you can attach floors, roofs, walls and curtain system, what do you import from Rhino is only an object (ACIS solid), you can't edit them or manipulate that object (edit/properties only the import units, scale factor and little more than that), that image you post are very simple to do in revit....

I Hope and I Wish to LEARN  more, and more, and more.... REVIT
