Hi guys,

I'm using Revit Arch 2010 and I've got a hill on which I'd like to place a car, but I can't rotate the car to match the slope of the hill (i.e. the back wheels look like they're floating)

I can start the rotate command in elevation view, but when I try to complete the command I get the error: "Can't rotate element into this position." I've played around with actually editing the family to no avail, it only lets me rotate in the X/Y axis as well. I've searched these forums as well but haven't found anything directly relating to my problem.

Thanks for any help you guys might have!

Nevermind, I found another thread in which a helpful mod suggested "Edit the family and under Settings / family category & parameters, uncheck the always vertical option."

Which worked fine.

You have no idea how much time and struggle you have saved me by pointing out the "ALWAYS VERTICAL" check box

Thanks very much appreciated
