Shape Handles - Autodesk 24000-000000-9860 - Revit Architecture - PC User Manual

The following general rules apply to using the SPACEBAR to flip multiple elements:
When multiple walls are selected, pressing the SPACEBAR flips the orientation of them all.
For elements such as doors, which can be flipped in 2 directions relative to their host, press the SPACEBAR
multiple times to cycle through the possible positions.
If elements constrained to flip in only one direction (such as windows) are selected with elements that
can flip in multiple directions (such as doors), then all elements flip along the common direction.
Pressing the SPACEBAR does not work in the following cases:
The selection contains any element that cannot be flipped.
The selection includes elements that do not share a common flip direction.
For example, if you select a door and its host wall, you cannot use the SPACEBAR to flip the selection.

Shape Handles

When a wall is selected in a plan view, place the cursor over an end control (blue dot) and press TAB to
display a shape handle. When a wall is highlighted in an elevation view or a 3D view, press TAB to display
the entire edge (closest to the cursor) as a shape handle that you can drag to resize the wall. The edge
functioning as a shape handle is red (or the defined selection color) when you drag it. The edge remains
selected for further resizing until you press ESC or click elsewhere in the drawing area.
NOTE You can change the selection color from red (the default) to another color using Settings menu
