Part Assembly Menu – features for creating a part assembly and different part selection options.

Mandatory condition: selected part needs to have Mark value assigned:
This value will be used as the assembly name. You can find shop drawings in Project Browser under Assemblies. An assembly combines all parts in a single entity, which is scheduled and isolated to create shop drawing views with tags and dimensions.

Disassemble Assembly – removes the assembly relationship between elements in the selected assembly and all associated views.
Recommended workflow: Instead of Revit → Disassemble, we recommend using Roof+M→ Part Assembly Menu → Disassemble Assembly as it doesn't show unnecessary pop-ups and deletes the gravity point.
Update Part Assembly – updates the selected part assembly if any changes were made to the parts or to the Drawing Configuration.
