This neat little trick really helped me come to terms with the Revit Rotate Command.
Firstly, select the object you want to rotate. In this case I have used a line purely for demonstration purposes, as well as maintaining anonymity.
You will now be able to select the 'rotate' command.
Revit will (by default) try and find the center of the object and place the rotation symbol there.
"Left Click" , select & drag the rotation symbol right off the page. Drop it in the 'Project Browser'
You should be able to zoom in & out and pan around your project view. If not repeat the first step.
After Zooming around drag the rotation symbol back onto your screen and let go, once you have
found the desired position on the object you wish to rotate.Rotate away at the new position you have chosen.
This trick stems from being able to drag the rotate symbol freely onto different places in you project. It just so happens that mistakenly I dragged it to the project browser on day.
Though this may seem perfectly logical to some, or you have seen it before. For others this is a great new trick....It is to you whom I say: enjoy this neat trick, I am sure it will come in handy one day.
For the ones that have seen this before, or were totally bored reading this tip.....

Awesome!! Now my problem is, I place the Project Browser on my second screen. Hmmmm, but guess what....you can drag it anywhere on the toolbars too! What seems to happen is that your mouse pointer turns into a center point. It's just waiting for you to click the centerpoint, so in the meantime you can pan and zoom around. I wish I knew about this earlier, but hey, never too late :) Thanks for sharing.
Nice tips... wanna swap links? www.revitup.co.za

Yup...it also works when you need to drag levels and grids far away...just drag off the window, let go, not it is stuck waiting for you to click once again...just pan, zoom, etc...click... all done... ;)
