To undo a split surface in Revit, you select the boundary lines that define the split face and press the Delete key. This action effectively removes the split and restores the original, un-split surface. There is no dedicated "merge" command for split faces.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Identify the Split Face: In Revit, a split face is visually distinct. It appears as a separate region on the surface of an element (like a wall, floor, or roof).
-
Select the Boundary Lines: The split face is defined by boundary lines, typically magenta in color when selected. Use the mouse to select these lines. You may need to use the Tab key to cycle through selection options if multiple elements are close together.
-
Delete the Boundary Lines: Once all the boundary lines of the split face are selected, press the Delete key on your keyboard.
-
Surface Restoration: Deleting the boundary lines removes the split, and the underlying surface reverts to its original, un-split state.
Important Considerations:
-
No "Merge" Command: Revit does not have a specific command to "merge" split faces. The method described above is the standard way to remove a split.
-
Accurate Selection: Ensure you are selecting the boundary lines of the split face and not other model lines or elements. Incorrect selection will lead to unintended deletions.
-
Complex Splits: If you have multiple split faces or a complex split configuration, you might need to delete multiple sets of boundary lines to fully restore the original surface.
