Revit Tip - Can't Select Filled Region

Labels: , , ,



Problem:  You created a fileld region in a floor plan view but later on in the process you cannot select the region.  You see the pattern and when you turn "detail items" on and off the region turns on and off.  For some reason you cannot select the damn region.

Solution:  Check your Visibility/Graphics settings ("VV".  Under the "Line"  category see if the line type you drew as the boundary for the filled region (eg. "") is off or on.  Interestingly, when the line type that is used as a boundary for your region is off... You cannot select the region.

Just an FYI.

;)

This did not work for me, still trying to select filled region to adjust and move but to no avail, all line types turned on, disappears when I turn detail items on and off, really annoying as I am going to have to set up a new drawing and copy across evrything into that file, large development project all for the sake of a few bloody filled regions ghosting in the elevs!!
