Here’s the workflow for auto-rotating the origin of an assembly using Smart Assemblies. Workflow for Auto-rotating Revit Assembly Origin And there’s an option to reverse it and change the direction of the front view to show the internal side of the wall, which is especially important for precast sandwich walls. Since we’re in the business of reducing BIM stress, we made sure our Smart Assemblies tool could eliminate this time-consuming task by rotating the assembly origin automatically for you so that front view is always the exterior side of the wall. And that’s for almost every wall assembly in the project.

Just getting the front view to point in the correct direction requires six clicks. But it’s not that bad considering what it takes to edit the assembly and change its orientation. So, that’s at least three mouse clicks for each assembly, assuming you keep the default name for it. If you use plain Revit, then you have to select one wall, select ‘Create Assembly’, give it a name, and then it will be created.

Revit Assembly Rotation – Manual vs Automatic Notice that the orientation of the origin for most of the wall assemblies that I have created below is wrong. Revit creates the assembly origin, which gives information about view directions.īelow you can see the axes of the origin, the green arrow being the direction of the front view. In my test project I drew a couple of panels in different directions and created assemblies with Revit. Here’s an example with precast sandwich wall panels. The downside: Working with assemblies can be quite a pain if you use Revit out of the box. If you want to create individual piece tickets for precast concrete walls in Revit, your best option is to go with assemblies because they have separate views, schedules, and information about each production element. Because this is a tip that can really help you save a lot of time by avoiding a lot of inefficient, boring clicking in Revit. This feature of our Smart Assemblies tool has been around for several years already, but I’d just like to remind our existing users about it and show it to Revit users who are new to our Precast Concrete design software.
