Multi-Framing

Multi-Framing features work extremely well in big projects, like multi-storey houses.

An additional window opens that contains tools for multi-framing tasks. Multi-Framing is used when there are groups or identical walls in a given project. Using Multi-Framing tools you can easily transfer framing elements between identical walls and update them automatically.

Filtering Rules in Model Groups

Filtering rules for work with walls from model groups. Model Groups should be created using Revit's Create Group function.

Model Group Type affects Wall’s Identity

Model Group Type affects Wall’s Identity – sets filtering rules if wall’s identity is affected by Model Group type. If ticked, only identical walls of the same Model Group type will be treated as the same wall.

Example: Identical walls are selected from the same model group type.

Model Group Instance affects Wall’s Identity

Model Group Instance affects Wall’s Identity – sets filtering rules if Wall’s identity is affected by Model Group instance (only selected Model Group).

Example: Identical walls are selected from the selected model group instance.

All Walls are Unique in Model Group

All Walls are Unique in Model Group – lets you treat each Wall Framing individually.

This function is recommended when some identical walls in Model Group need to be framed differently.

Example: Only one wall is selected from model group, which will have unique framing

Copy/Update Frames in Model Groups

Copy/Update Frame in Model Groups – copies and/or updates all frames from selected Model Group into identical walls from the same Model Groups.

This feature helps save time because you will not need to frame walls from the same model groups individually. You just need to frame walls from one group and then, using this feature, copy/update it to other identical walls from the same groups.

Copy/Update Frame in Model Groups

Copy/Update Frame in Model Groups – copies (and/or updates) selected frame into identical walls from the same Model Groups.

This feature helps save time because you will not need to frame walls from same model groups individually. You just need to frame one wall from one group and then, using this feature, copy/update it to other identical walls from the same groups.

Select Walls in Model Group

Select Walls in Model Group – selects all walls from selected Model Group.

After selecting walls, you can frame walls using Frame Wall feature.

Delete Frames in Model Group

Delete Frames in Model Group – deletes all frames from identical Model Groups.

Show Identical Walls

Show Identical Walls – selects and shows identical walls in the project according to Model Group filtering rules.

Identical walls are those walls that are identical according to their geometry.

Copy/Update Frames in Identical Walls

Copy/Update Frames in Identical Walls – copies selected Frame or Secondary Frame into identical walls and/or updates existing Frame of identical walls. All changes will be transferred and overwritten according to the filtering rules.

Identical walls can be in the group or not.

This function is recommended when a primary wall is framed (with all additional elements if needed) and all identical walls need to be framed according to the primary wall.

Frame and Copy/Update in Identical Walls

Frame and Copy/Update in Identical Walls – frames selected wall according to its Framing Configuration and then copies selected wall’s Frame into identical walls and/or replaces existing Frame of identical walls. All framing elements will be transferred and overwritten according to filtering rules.

Identical walls can be in the group or not.

This function is recommended when all identical walls have to be framed only according to the Framing Configuration and manually-placed elements or modifications are not needed.

Update Frames in Identical Walls

Update Frames in Identical Walls – updates all framing elements in identical walls according to the changes that were made to framing elements of the selected wall. All framing elements will update according to filtering rules.

Identical walls can be in the group or by themselves.

Update Frames by Wall Link in Identical Walls

Update Frames by Wall Link in Identical Walls – updates all framing elements in identical walls according to Framing Configuration of the selected wall in Wall Link assignment. All framing elements will be transferred and overwritten according to filtering rules.

Identical walls can be in the group or by themselves.

Delete Frame in Identical Walls

Delete Frames in Identical Walls – deletes all framing elements in the selected wall and walls identical to it. Framing will be deleted in accordance with filtering rules.

Isolate Selected Walls

Isolate Selected Walls – isolates selected walls, including frames in the active view. All other elements will be permanently hidden in the active view.

To restore hidden elements, use Unhide Walls function.

Create Assemblies for Identical Walls

Create Assemblies for Identical Walls – finds identical walls from the project and creates assembly, which contains userpredefined shop drawings, including schedules and sheets. One assembly is primary, which can be modified and updated; others are secondary.
