Modify the Room Calculation Point

To make a family room-aware and adjust its room orientation, enable and move the Room Calculation Point.

  1. Select the family instance in the drawing area.
  2. Click Modify | <Element> tab Mode panel Edit Family.
  3. In the Family Editor, open a floor plan view of the family.
  4. On the Properties palette, select the Room Calculation Point parameter in the Other section. The point is now visible in the drawing area as a green dot.
  5. Select the Room Calculation Point and move it to a location that will not be obscured by geometry when placed in the project.
    Note: If the family needs Room Calculation Point adjustment in the Z-axis, open an elevation or 3D view to access movement controls. Relocate the point similarly.
  6. Click Modify tab Family Editor panel Load into Project.
