    lisa49ann on Placing a Railing on a Host
    May 10, 2013 11:40 AM
    Tim, thanks for your question. When placing a railing, the Tread/Stringer Offset value is hardcoded. You can only modify this value after placement. The railing type property, Baluster Offset could be used to modify the placement offset, however. For example, specify -0.4mm for the Baluster Offset for the railing type and this would result in a 25 mm placement offset default. I hope this helps! ~ Lisa, Revit User Experience Team
    lisa49ann on Cuttable Families

    Hi Eric, the casework category includes the "Cuttable" option, but the out of the box casework content is not defined to be cuttable. To make a casework element cuttable: - Make sure that the cut plane is cutting the element. - Edit the family, and delete the masking region. - In the <A href="http://wikihelp.autodesk.com/Revit/enu/2013/Help/00007-Creating0/0027-Creating27/0034-Setting_34">Family Element Visibility Display</A> dialog, select the Plan/RCP and When cut in Plan/RCP (if category permits) options. ~ Lisa, Revit User Experience Team.

    That's good news, Munazza! I'm glad it's working for you now. ~ Lisa

    mnorman, thank you for your question. The "Rotate with Component" behavior is determined, not by the tag type, but by the host being tagged. Hosts which can support the Rotate with Component parameter include: Walls (in plan views) along with doors and windows, Revision Clouds, Property Lines, Stairs, Structural Beams, Structural Framing, Pipes, Ducts, Conduit, and Cable Trays. In addition to the host requirement, the tag used in the project must have a straight leader or no leader. (Tags with bent elbow leaders will not rotate with the component.) If the parameter is selected in the family, and if the leader for the tag is off or straight, and the host is one of the above, the parameter will behave as intended. As you can see, this behavior is not that straightforward, so I have added this topic to our list for future documentation enhancements. ~Lisa, Revit User Experience Team

    Thank you for your feedback and suggested workaround. I have logged this issue with our development team, as the parameter does not seem to be working as intended. I also edited the page for now to be more accurate for the existing behavior. ~ Lisa, Revit User Experience Team

    The method you are using for inserting multiple point clouds in Revit 2013 is the best approach. Our Development team is aware of key areas (like this one) where users need more control to ensure the accuracy of the point clouds in a model.Thank you for your feedback! ~ Lisa, Revit User Experience Team

    This looks like an error in the instructions. You should select "Simple" for Transitions. I will correct this in the text as well. ~ Lisa, Revit User Experience Team.

    GirishGanapati - You are correct that there is currently no way to change the spacing in a numbered list. For feature/functionality wishlist items like this, please submit your requests using this <A href="http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=1109794">form.</A> Then it's sure to get into the right hands and be tracked properly. ~ Lisa, Revit User Experience Team
    lisa49ann on Creating Spiral Staircases
    Oct 22, 2012 1:12 PM
    The development team was unable to reproduce the issue of "excessive risers" when creating a spiral stair with a maximum riser height of 9 1/2" (both sketch-based and component-based). Because there are many specific conditions that can affect stair creation, this issue is best handled by our Product Support Team. Visit the <A href="http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/index?siteID=123112&id=2956546&linkID=9243099">Product Support page</A> to learn how to contact them directly. ~ Lisa, Revit User Experience Team

    novelh - Thank you for the excellent question. I have added a section to the page to describe changing the railing position after placement. I hope this helps! ~ Lisa, Revit User Experience Team
