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 Wall+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.
