Hi Everyone!

I created a massing model of a desk.  Once I rotated my building, I lost the massing.  I can see it in the project browser under families, but I can not insert it into my plan.  How do I get my massing model back?  I have "show mass" button on.  I use Revit 2009.

I always wonder why do people create items like this starting with a mass ....????

 

Is the mass in your model or was it deleted?  If it is in the model, then you could probably find it from a 3D view ... pick it in the browser and right click - select all.  If the family is not in the model, then you can probably select it in the browser and right-click - create instance.

I forgot all about the "create from modeling" tool when I created it.  The mass is in the project browser but not in the drawings (it was orginially before I moved the site).  When I when to the "create instance" it just made me start a new mass.

I just did a test - created a mass and it is in my families.  Then I deleted it and guess what... it is no longer in my familes.  What that means is that your mass is still in your project.  Goto a 3D view - have mass on, find this family in your browser and right click - select all.  Now in the 3D view, use your glasses to isolate element and you will find your mass.
