Can't Select some duct runs...
« on: Sep 24, 2015, 14:26:08 PM »
Have a job here that I need to export to CADmep and when opening a floor in 3D view and highlight all ducts via a cross-window, letting go, only some runs are selected and many others are not, i have tried everything I can think off and cannot select those runs, I want to export the entire run, not just some things... this is really annoying...

PIC1 shows the crossing window trying to select all objects...

PIC2 shows what only gets selected...

Anyone have any clues???

Googling this has yielded no solutions...

That seems strange.. no worksets locked? Post the file & I'll have a look.

I know, it's driving me crazy, is like REVIT has some sorta of lock on them but I cannot find where...

File is 54 Megs....

Sorry I should be more clearer.. you will need to upload to a dropbox or A360 drive account, then share the link for us to download.

When you open the revit file does it ask you about worksets?

I detached the MEP file from central like I always do to be able to manipulated, done this on every job we get never had this issue...

I copied the file to a TEMP folder on my A360, but I do not see a way to share it with a link...  how?

Better late than never.. you probably moved on to the next issue  :P

Tick file to share. Go to the right of that file & click on the 'Actions' icon.
Select 'Share' from the dropdown. Select 'Public Sharing'
Window pop up will give you a link you can copy/paste into posts.

See attached screens.

I did, time was of essence and did not had much to just be playing around, anyways, the RIF conversion of those that did select to AutoCAD MAP objects was a disaster, not everything comverted and it would take more time to fix, so we abandon that idea...
