Copying Objects To All Layout Cells; Working With Volume Anchors; Adding Volume Anchors - Autodesk 24108-051400-9000 - AutoCAD Revit Architecture Suite 2008 User Manual

A Cell Anchor tool is located in the Content Browser in the Stock Tool Catalog. Open the Content Browser
and select the Stock Tool Catalog. Browse to the Parametric Layout and Anchoring category, and drag the
Cell Anchor tool into the drawing area or to a tool palette. For more information, see
Content
NOTE Alternatively, enter CellAnchor on the command line.
2 Enter se (Set cell), and select the object.
3 Press
ENTER
4 Select the cell you want to anchor the object to.
The object is moved to the new cell. If the new cell is different in size from the original one, the object is
resized accordingly.
NOTE You can also drag the object if you want to move an anchored object to a different cell on the same layout
grid or volume grid.

Copying Objects to All Layout Cells

Use this procedure to copy objects to all layout cells. You can select an AEC object and, instead of manually anchoring
it to a layout cell, you can copy the object and anchor one copy to each cell on the layout grid or volume grid.
1 Open the tool palette that you want to use, and select a Cell Anchor tool.
If necessary, scroll to display the tool that you want to use.

2 To copy the anchored object to every cell in the layout grid or volume grid, enter c (Copy to each cell).
3 Select the object.
4 Select the layout grid or volume grid that you want to copy and anchor the object to.
If an object is already anchored to any of the cells, you are prompted to specify whether you want to skip
cells that already have something anchored to them. Enter y (Yes) to avoid duplicate anchored objects
appear in those cells.

Working with Volume Anchors

You can use volume anchors to attach objects to volumes in 3D volume grids. The movement of an object that is
anchored to a volume grid is constrained by that volume grid.
When an object is anchored to a volume inside a volume grid, the object is resized to fit the volume size. When the
volume itself is resized, you can decide whether the anchored object is updated accordingly or remains its original size.

Adding Volume Anchors

Use this procedure to add volume anchors. You can add volume anchors to objects to connect them to volume grids.
