Description 

The "Combine Assemblies" feature empowers you to create one assembly from multiple assemblies. It's used to merge several assemblies into a single, unified assembly.  It's important to note that Revit itself cannot perform this function, as it lacks the capability to merge multiple assemblies together. This feature provides a practical solution for combining assemblies in your project.




Why Use the Combine Assemblies Feature?

    • Simplify Workflow: Merging assemblies reduces steps, streamlining your work processes.
    • Alignment and Clarity: It aligns components, enhancing communication and visual clarity.
    • Efficiency Boost: When working on BIM projects, this feature significantly improves efficiency.


Illustrative Example


  • Before Combining the Assemblies:  we have two separate assemblies labeled as (A) and (B). Hovering over any assembly group confirms that they are not grouped into a single assembly.


  • After combining the assemblies (A):  you'll observe that they have transformed into a single, unified assembly. Hovering over any part of this assembly, you'll notice that the previously separate assemblies have turned blue, indicating their successful combination.

Step-by-Step Guide




  1. In the assembly tools section, click on the "Combine Assembly" icon.
  2. Begin selecting the assemblies you want to combine.
  3. After you've finished selecting, click the "Finish" button.
  4. Choose your preferred setting view (A) and click Finish.


After completing these steps, you'll observe that the previously separate assemblies have merged into a single assembly (1). When you hover over any part of this assembly, they will turn blue (2), indicating their successful combination.
