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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

This looks like an error in the instructions. You should select "Simple" for Transitions. I will correct this in the text as well.

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

Then it's sure to get into the right hands and be tracked properly.

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.

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!

SBumbaloughMon May 14, 2012 1:19 pmNot sure how to reach out to you. Trying to view your video Creating Frame Modeling at http://wikihelp.autodesk.com/@api/deki/files/45916/=Frame_Modeling.flv but get an error message that it is not available. Can you advise?
lisa49annMon May 14, 2012 1:59 pmHi SBumbalough, can you tell me where you found the link to the video? The video is available here: http://wikihelp.autodesk.com/Revit/enu/community/videos/005_Structural_Modeling/Creating_Frame_Modeling
This is one of our older videos, from Revit 2011. I'm not sure what version you are using,but it may still give you a good overview.

lisa49annTue Jun 5, 2012 5:47 amHi Rodrigo. Thank you for the link to your video on 123 D Catch - what a beautiful sculpture and a cool product! I can see that you have uploaded several Revit videos to our Spanish Revit WikiHelp site. Thanks for contributing this learning to our Revit community. If you are interested, we have several new Revit videos for 2013 (in English though). Thank for sharing your work.
