Can T Select Floor In Revit 2019

Hi ian i was just working through your section 4 6 and cam across a problem whilst trying to select the floor.

Can t select floor in revit 2019. To create floors from a mass instance use the floor by face tool or the floor tool. In the type selector select a floor type. I can select the upper level floor in section view. That s all fine and dandy but now i can t select any elements from the level below.

Edit a floor sketch after creating a floor you can change its profile to modify its boundaries. Go to a view where you can easily see and select your floor. To use the floor by face tool you first create mass floors. It was originally created using an older version of revit and the program forced a file upgrade when i opened it.

I ve compared all my settings to the main level where i can select the floor they all appear to be the same. The only way to get rid of these beams from the project to start over was to overwrite the family and completely delete any geometry from it however the hosting beam system is still there. Add a floor slab edge you add slab edges by selecting horizontal edges of floors. You can place slab edges in 2d views such as plan or section views or in 3d views.

However i m noticing when i m doing this in revit it is as if it is looking from. This model has come from a sub contractor of ours. Mass floors calculate floor areas in a mass instance. I have checked my worksets and design options.

I ve checked all the settings i can and can not figure out why i can t select the floor. Click massing site tabmodel by face panel floor by face. You can create sloped floors in the building model. I m laying out my system in a ceiling plan view as my sprinklers are located in the ceiling plan and the rcp is what i have used in other software to do my drawing.

To create a floor from a mass floor open a view that displays the mass. I m unable to select my upper level floor in plan view. No matter where i select within the area of the floor perimeter or centre or whether i use the tab key i doesn t select the floor. Select it and click edit footprint on the ribbon now select the relevant view to modify it from the list that appears.

Resize or flip a floor slab edge. I have previously just used revit to export out however i m now trying to do my design fire protection natively within revit. Which is the easiest way to select a floor to edit it. Running into a bizarre issue this morning trying to edit a beam system that was last edited earlier this week however i can no longer select it nor any of the beams which are hosted by it.
