Insert Specific Sizes—Drag and Drop? 

Posted by cretzeng

OK, either I just don't get it or this is something that needs to get high priority to fix when it comes to the next SmartBim release. For example, when you drag and drop a door that has '9 types' indicated in SmartBim you only get the default size, not the option of actually picking the actual size you want from the 9 sizes available. I know I could just go and insert the door via Revit, load family, find the family in the SmartBim directory, and I will then get the option to insert a specific size. But if that is the case the SmartBim UI is useless and shouldn't be advertised as a way of organizing your data. If you can't use the interface to insert the family directly into Revit, with the option for a specific size, then SmartBim is just a glorified collection of families. Please tell me there is a way to insert a specific family size directly from the UI. Am I just missing something obvious? Thanks, Dean
