Saving Groups
You can save a group as a Revit project file (RVT) if you are working in a project, or a Revit family file (RFA)
if you are working in the Family Editor.
1 Click File menu
➤
Save to Library
➤
Save Group.
2 By default, the file name text box displays “Same as group name”. If you accept this name, Revit
Architecture saves the file with the same name as the group. So a group called Group 5 saves as
Group 5.rvt (or Group 5.rfa). If desired, you can change this name.
3 If your project has multiple groups, click the appropriate group from the Group to Save menu.
4 Select or clear the Include attached detail groups as views check box.
5 Click Save.
Deleting Groups
To delete a group, you must first delete all instances of the group in the project.
1 In the Project Browser, right-click the group and click Select All Instances.
2 Click on the toolbar, or press Delete .
All instances of the group are deleted in the project.
3 In the Project Browser, right-click the group, and select Delete.
Using Arrays of Elements
The Array tool creates a linear or radial array of selected elements. For example, you can select a door and
a window residing on a wall and create multiple instances of the door-window configuration.
Use the Array tool to create several instances of one or more elements and manipulate them simultaneously.
Array members can belong to a group; therefore, you can add or remove items from the group. For example,
you can create an array of 7 walls. When you group a desk with one of the walls, all walls in the array get a
desk. (For more information about grouping, see
Editing Elements in Groups on page 284.)
NOTE Arrays are not supported for most annotation symbols.
