Unfortunately it creates a situation for us where proper alignment of an array of individually rotated attached objects is a little more of a challenge than we would like. It is less convenient for an object that has no fixed point.

I appreciate the creativity of this work around and I see how it can be very useful for families where there is a fixed point and an nested element allows rotation in one plane and a further nested element allows rotation in another plane (creating full pan and tilt relative to a fixed point - the mounting point. Revit novice I am, so I assume I am missing something very obvious.

There appears to be no way to achieve this. Using the rotate command would be much more viable on a practical level.Ī second instance is a speaker cluster arrangement each speaker is married to the next in plan and then the group needs to tilt in section.

On a practical level using this method is quite onerous as these individual tilts are quite precise and can yield some very large numbers. I am finding that if I do things in the right order I can create a box shaped speaker family with a tilt parameter. Imagine the speakers you see at a rock concert where there are 10 or so speakers (elements) hung with their front edges aligned and rotated a couple of degrees each element relative to the next creating a J shape.

I am attempting to create a family of wedge shaped speakers that are hung in free air and rotated relative to each other in elevation and then the entire assembly is rotated in plan. I have a similar issue, however the fix doesn't appear to work in this case.
