from the group instance, and click the Exclude symbol that
appears near the element. Should you need the member back,
Tab+select the group again, and click the Restore Excluded
Group Member symbol.
A wall in the project can still join with a wall inside a group.
assemblies Assemblies are similar in many aspects to groups but with some
unique tools directed toward construction workflows. Assemblies are collections
of project objects similar to groups, organized in the Project Browser, along with
any associated assembly views. To create an assembly, select the objects you
want to include in the view, and choose Create Assembly on the ribbon.
The following are the key takeaways:
Revit automatically detects whether changes to an assembly
make it unique and, if so, creates a new assembly type.
Assemblies have an exclusive tool called Assembly Views. These
views are organized in the Project Browser (under the assem-
bly) and create isolated views of the specific assembly type only.
To create assembly views, select an assembly, and click Create
Views on the ribbon.
Assemblies do not allow as many object categories to be added
as groups do. There are restrictions on some object categories
(they cannot be added to the assembly) such as other assembled
objects, annotation/detail items, groups, imports, links, model
lines, masses, rooms, images, curtain systems, stacked walls, or
curtain walls.
revit Links Revit project files can be linked into one another. This is useful not
only to divide large projects or campus buildings but also to repeat geometry.
For example, your project may have identical wings or buildings on campus. The
Revit project can be linked in and even allows for copies of the link to be cre-
ated (all instances will update if reloaded). Links also have project-wide controls
under Manage Links. Here you can reload, unload, or entirely remove the link
from the host project.
The following are the key takeaways:
A link can be bound into the project (which will place all geom-
etry into a new group). Simply select the link instance and
choose Bind Link on the ribbon.
