She double-clicked the family editor. Revit 2022 had introduced better slanted column controls and enhanced multi-rebar annotations—but it still hated irregularity. Every time she tried to place a beam at a true, surveyed angle, the software’s constraint engine fought back, snapping it to a clean 90 degrees like a well-meaning but oblivious intern.
When she reopened the file, the auto-recovery model had straightened her slanted columns, reverted her generic models to system families, and—most damning—filled the void with a solid extrusion labeled “Unassigned.”

Kyle whistled. “That’s creepy.”
