An Architect brought to my attention yesterday that when ever he copies a component that he modled in place it creates a copy of that component under the family tree of the project browser.

 

Say he models an inplace component and calls it "Test" when he copies this component in the model a new component is created called "Test1".

I have never noticed this before and thought he may have been doing something wrong, so I sat down and created one and sure enough it does duplicate the inplace component in the browser.

I guess my big question is WHY???

I think that is the idea of an In-place component. It's intended to be a one off item. You copy it and Revit creates it as another independent one-off item. Anything that will be duplicated should be made as a proper family; especially if the items will be scheduled.

Thanks for the reply AbsoluteBIM

I was thinking the same thing but needed a second opinion.  I have little experiance with model in place, I usualy create external families for the Architects and Engineers, I was suprised to see inplace components to work this way.  Anyway, it is what it is...

 

thanks

I can remember when we first started using revit and one of our projects had something like xxx....xxx49 where a user had copied an in-place model element.

 

We all have to learn sometime.

I'm guilty of doing a great deal of modeling in-place, still. 

 

I'm waiting for the feature that allows you to effortlessly save in-place families as real families.  Too often, aspects of the model are needed for reference when building a family, and you don't have all that information as soon as you open a tempate.

 

Groups are a decent way of managing in-place families if you know they are going to be coppied around a bit and potentially changed.  I often do this with exposed roof trusses.

Working on Revit-2017, still the problem.
