Reconnect Elements

Summary

Disconnects often occur due to constant changes made to content these contribute to poor model health and become a nuisance for situations that require connectivity. The goal of this feature is to help the user identify and automate reconnecting these instances. There are common situations where elements are moved or copied, and Revit causes the parts to become disconnected. Revit may not display a warning, so it is not apparent the elements have become disconnected. However, Revit does offer a way to display disconnected elements, please see To Show Disconnects.
