In a fairly complete model we have eliminated a firewall, leaving only a 1" expansion joint. I have created a 9" void between the two "buildings" and simply wish to grab teh smaller building in it's entirety and move it 8" clower to the main building. Using various processes to assure i have grabbed the entire smaller building I keep getting a message that informs me that a selected element can only move in one direction while another can only mover in another and therefore my desired action is not allowed. Can anyone suggest how to eliminate those constraints (just unchecking the restrain box doesn't work). I could have moved each wall on each floor 8" in the time I have wasted trying to move everything at once.

geocox3- i know it's hard to believe that revit city is being operated by adolescences in their mom's basment- but it's true.. and lately several of them have started acting like children- messing around with certain members and deleting what they post as a prank.. and yes it's true they have all been playing with revit for several years but they don't really have the intelligence to understand revit- even though yes they can point people to a lot of stuff we find in the help menu.. but i'm not saying they are totally useless.. anyway- what i was telling you about moving buildings is correct and it's a good thing to understand about revit.. if you want to move a whole building you need to take it apart piece by piece until you get it down to its basic elements and then try to move those elements.. and then you can re-attach the families.. same thing i described for you that the children deleted.. and you notice that the children were not able to replace what they deleted with a better and more helpful explanation of moving buildings in revit for you- and like i said- they don't really have the intelligence to understand much about revit.. and they don't care who gets revit help- and they really don't care about revit city.. but see if they don't delete my explanation of moving buildings in revit again and not replace it with anything better..

Speaking of Intellect, let me tell you the correct way to do actually do this instead of spouting of a little theory about how the softwre is supposed to work (which while it sounds good, I wouldn't wish that procedure on my worst enemy, Wong) Geo, to me it sounds as though your best bet is to make 2 copies of the model. Leave the original the way you have it so that you have the original. In one copy, delete everything on one half. In the other copy delete the other half. Link the one half of the building into the other. Now when it comes to tagging and what not, you're going to have some issues with this method, so head over to revittotd.com and search for "through the linking glass" and take a look at those 2 posts on your options for documenting linked models. In regards to WongWa's post. I applaud your effort to snuff out the evil in this world that creates poor websites and misinforms the masses on how things are done. Unfortunately, this is not one of those sites. I read the post to which you refer, and I read the edited version. I've read your 4 other posts... 4... none of which lead to any informative wisdom on how to actually accomplish anything the original poster was asking. If it's name calling and forum trolling you are looking for you may as well find one of those poorly made websites that exists just for that purpose. You'll find nothing but people that have been helped by those that you are bashing in your above post. You were called out by an admin, you lost. Get over it and move on; it's a loosing battle for you. Geo, I would highly recommend taking a glance at the linking method above. Let us know if you have any isues and hit up chat during the week if you have questions about it. Good luck!

AllenBall- yes that is the way we would like it to be.. but unfortunately that is not the way it is.. i have had several personal attacks by a moderators at revit city and this is another example of that.. i posted basically the same answer for moving a building in revit and one of those moderators is very child-like and apparently doesn't argree with my answer.. but my answer was and is correct.. i only answer revit questions that no one else can answer..

Wang, define "Answer" because I have not seen an informative post that actually helped anyone from you... ever. Were I you. I would ask myself: "Why is it that these adolescents are succesful enough to have their own website, architecture firms, and positions in design firms while I am only capable of trolling forums and making fun of them at the same age?" You'll find one of two answer. 1) You don't really know much about who you're talking about (or much about what you're talking about period) or 2) You're a slack. If they are that succesful at the same age, you need to pick up your game kid and you may, just then, be able to have your own website one day where you actually help people.

rkitect- if you don't think my answers lead to any informative wisdom- then why didn't YOU or SOMEONE answer them? instead of letting them go by for days because you don't know how to answer them.. as for the only difference in YOUR answer- (AFTER you learned from me or else you would have answered it the other day)- all you have said different is to make a copy.. i have always posted telling revit users to constantly back up their projects to a second drive.. and does it really look to you like i "lost" anything? lol this was always good though: "never get involved in a land war in asia"

" rkitect- if you don't think my answers lead to any informative wisdom- then why didn't YOU or SOMEONE answer them? instead of letting them go by for days because you don't know how to answer them.. I did, see above post with link to instructional videos; and I do, see my profile. If you're not sure about how to read posts or click links before reponsding to forum posts, may I recommend a website called google.com. I know life is difficult when you don't have an F1 to go to, but give it a shot. as for the only difference in YOUR answer- (AFTER you learned from me or else you would have answered it the other day)- Learning from your post would require there being contect to observe and learn from. As for why I didn't answer the other day, please email my employer and applaude him for having an employee that stays on task throughout the day. all you have said different is to make a copy.. Please re-read my post. You either are not understanding my response or do not comprehend Revit enough to understand what I am answering (in which case you should stop giving advice about Revit). Since you seem to be fairly knowledgable that we get our information from the help menu, do us all a favor and read up on linked models in the help menu. Once you grasp that concept feel free to come back with any questions that you may have about what I'm suggesting. i have always posted telling revit users to constantly back up their projects to a second drive.. I just read all 5 of your posts earlier today. I never say any mention about backups. Even if you were telling people to backup their files, this is not what I was informing the OP to do. See above statement about re-reading my post. Backing up projects to a second drive has nothing to do with moving buildings in Revit, leading me back to your lack of comprehending the OP question, Revit itself, or forum etiquette. and does it really look to you like i "lost" anything? lol At this point I'd say your sanity. this was always good though: "never get involved in a land war in asia" Isn't it though? It's a shame you don't know what the quote is from however. This goes back to my comment about google.com. You may want to look up that quote and watch the movie so you have the full context; it's better that way. "i only answer revit questions that no one else can answer.." You, and the help menu you mean? the ONLY reason any trolls like you dump ad hominims on others is pure and simple- because you are UNSUCCESSFUL.. The only thing I'm unsuccesful at for the time being is undesrtanding your motivation for continuing this foolish game. Most kids your age take their aggression out in sports or video games. Are these too complicated for you? Joined April, 2006 about 900 posts Oh wow.. I had something to say about this but it took forever for me to stop laughing and I forgot what it was.

" rkitect- if you try to link the building back in you will have all kinds of location problems.. the best thing to do is rebuild the building in the right location.. Wong, if you are having problems with linked models, feel free to ask the professionals of Revitcity.com for help. This method is used by many successful professional that understand the software on a daily basis, without having location problems. Revit's coordinate system is a complex system but it is conquerable none the less. There are many resources that go over the coordinate system that was introduced in 2010, google will help you locate these resources. FYI: Image stealing is a reportable offense.

Allen Ball- if you are talking about the Autodesk Revit Architecture 2010 Certified Professional- i can grab those by the handfuls.. so before you get too carried away thinking you are a professional and telling others they need to be professional- you probably should get real first.. but thanks for the recommendation.. --------------------------------------------- never start no land war in asia!

rkitect- you go ahead an "conquer" the complex coordinate system and i'll rebuild the building and let's see who falls victim to their own blunders first.. fair enough? and what is your point of doing an image search of my avatar and posting a link to it? do you know where that image came from? do you know anything about it?

Challenge accepted. First task complete, begin conquering the complexities of the revit coordinate system... oh wait, I started doing that over a year ago: http://revittotd.com/06/340 . Looks like you're already behind Wong. I'm guessing you haven't finished remodeling Geo's model for him, or even started for that matter. Do I know anything about the image? Yes, you stole it from another website. How's that for starters? How's the coffee?
