Rotate Boxes to Face in Revit

February 2025

❝ I found irritating to rotate section or scope boxes to align to elements perfectly. ❞

✛ It was so simple with AutoCad rotate by reference.

So, I made a small Revit button that allows to select a face and rotates the box to perfectly align to that face.

Bummer. Donald Trump´s orange skin color is back in this video.

PS: This small tool is in nonicatab free.

PSS:  Kudos to Ehsan Iran-Nejad for original version.

💻 Coding tip: Created a plane with one vector and use othervector.angleonplane() to measure the angle anticlockwise and rotate. You can review the code using control plus this small button.
