Hi, i need a little begginers advice for Revit 2010.

I'm creating family of object that should rotate over one line (parametric)

If i do the object in "x,y" axis than z is the extraction , and the object should rotate over "x". But i dont know if itspossible because i would tear the profile from x,y axis and it gives me error.

Where should i create this and where to put parametric  dimension to rotate ?

Is this a door you are making with a door swing ?

There are forums post that deal with this issue but ill try and explain it quickly, if this doesn't work/make sense then search for those posts

make your extrustion as a seperate family eg 'door panel'bring it in and align it to your rotational line

align your rotational line to the point X

then it wont break the profile when you edit your swing, and it can swing freely

no, its not door swing, its something like noticeboard that should be on the ground supported by something and it should be rotated by parametr such as angle or height (doesnt really metter to me )

Will try this but i think i tried it once, I will try today so will post the results.

thx for help

thanks, didnt know about this

I have few other diffuculties:

1) i set some images to print them on walls .. but when I change or add some other images into construction, the previous ones disappear and give black render color. Is there any folder that they must be? I didnt change the path to them so i dont know why they turn black

2) Is there any way to enable to show these pictures in 3d of project? (not in render). Because i dont want to render every part where i put them to make sure theyre right

3) I dont do Building now, but some other things like exhibition stands. So I make my own families from some system. But theyre parts ... how can they must be specified so they would work in legends of parts and where i can create this legend for my own parts ? (i see only material and room legend) Should it be made like furniture ? Now they are made like Common models)

thx for reply and help

I've solved the 1) problem ... well, not solved but now i know why, its some bug of Revit:

 When i open the picture folder on revit to load them everything is fine. Than i open some families (another folder search) than the images turn black ... so i need the folder with images to print on walls opened at last before beginning to render ...

strange bug or am I missing some options ?
