Revit Tip - Can't Select Filled Region

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.

Revit Tip - Creating Custom Hatch (Surface) Patterns - New

I have mentioned here and there about creating hatch patterns in Revit...  Remember, let's call them "surface patterns" instead of hatch patterns....  Hatching died with AutoCAD.

Well, there is a nice video and software out (a newer version than what has been out) that converts AutoCAD drawings into surface patterns.
