We have completed our first project in Revit and overall the program is great. Now it's revision time and my current plan of attack is to make one segment and copy it a thousand times rotating here and there. I know you can free hand it but the archs aren't consistent and it looks like garbage. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually miss ACAD when it comes to creating rev clouds... draw out a polyline convert it to a rev cloud and done. Other than that I take Revit any day  Does anyone have an eaisier way for completing this simple task? Thank you in advance for your time.

Why not use the revision cloud under the drafting tab?

That is what I am using. But in order to get equal segments you have to make one segment and then copy it around the view which is very time consuming.

I don't know anyone that wants equal segments - clouds are supposed to be random so that they stand out. Clouds just mimic what we did with a pencil when we hand drafted and that was a free-hand element - no perfection here! The cloud is a repeating element. Just point and click as you go around in a clockwise direction and let them adjust to the spacing of your clicks.

Well now you do. If it's not a big deal, then why is it used in ADT? There is a visual difference between the two (attached) and when they are on the same page next to each other it looks sloppy. Just like everything else in this program it's about consistency.

At my office, we like to keep our revision clouds neat as well. When a lot things are going on on your sheet, you don't want clouds just jumping around everywhere. By using a thick line, they're easily noticeable.

Great Revit karma will come to you for answering my many questions.

Anyone have an answer to this? I am not concerned about the clouds looking exactly the same, but I do not like clicking the mouse so many time to create a cloud? In CAD you can set the length of you segment. Thanks

It doesn't help with the segment length (and with just a little care and practice you can get them close enough), but something I used to to do was trace where I wanted the cloud to be using detail lines, then snap to them with the cloud tool. The segments are all slightly different lengths, the the lines are straight and a bit neater looking.

I really think this is one of those "can't see the forest for the trees" issues. You can edit - copy past - clouds just like other Revit elements. Have a fe masters on hand....
