Editing assemblies in Revit involves selecting the assembly and using the dedicated editing tools to add or remove elements. This process allows you to modify the components included in a pre-defined assembly.
Steps to Edit a Revit Assembly
Modifying an existing assembly in your Revit project is a straightforward process using the built-in tools. Follow these steps:
- Select the Assembly: First, you need to choose the assembly you want to edit. You can select it directly in any project view (like a floor plan or 3D view) or open and select it from an assembly view.
- Access the Edit Command: With the assembly selected, navigate to the ribbon. Click on the Modify | Assemblies tab, then locate the Assembly panel, and click the (Edit Assembly) button. This action opens the assembly for modification.
- Add or Remove Elements: A floating Edit Assembly toolbar will appear. On this toolbar, you'll find tools to adjust the assembly's composition:
- Click (Add) to include additional elements from your project into the selected assembly.
- Click (Remove) to take elements out of the selected assembly.
- After clicking Add or Remove, select the specific elements you wish to include or exclude from the assembly definition.
- Finalize Changes: Once you have finished adding or removing elements to achieve the desired assembly composition, click (Finish) on the floating Edit Assembly toolbar. This action saves your changes to the assembly definition.
By following these steps, you can easily update the collection of elements that form your Revit assemblies, ensuring they accurately represent the pre-fabricated or standard components in your design.
