So a small break from the Massing series just for today.  I need a quick post so I can concentrate on some other errands and I ran across a fix for one of my greatest foes in Revit for quite some time: the dreaded MISSED RIGHT CLICK!!!

So if you’ve worked on complex wall projects and ever needed to disallow joins frequently in a project, there’s a good chance you’ve run across this.  Here’s the situation, we have intersecting walls.

We select a wall and get grips so that we can disjoin.

However, when we right-click the grip… wait what?

That’s not the context menu i was expecting to see”.  Autodesk, what’s up.  I know this was brought up in beat at some point… >_> While hiding the object and then trying again is a good workaround, sometimes you end up having to hide several walls, a couple links, some generic models a floor.. I don’t want to have to do that.  So here’s the trick: Zoom way in with the grip still visible, then right click.

If it still doesn’t work, zoom in more and try, try again.  In this image I actually had to click a little to the right of the grip right when it activated for this dialog to happen correctly… sheesh! Simple quick, just like a TotD was meant to be.  Next time, back to massing series!  Till then,
