Is it possible to add a color region to a family in plan view? I need to add a color region to the plan view of a single flush door family for training purposes (several co-workers see color filled areas better than black and white single lines with the projector we have). I would like to add a color region to the door and frame in plan view of the door family.
View 1 Repliesby default. I forget what but there's some routine to make this family cut properly in a plan view. Why they made viewing the top of the family the default position I DON"T KNOW but what do you expect from programmers?

I am using Revit Architecture 2012 and I am having some issues with plan regions. I am not able to get my stairs to show up sometimes and I cannot figure out why. I have attached 2 images of my drawing to show the issue. The 2 floors in this image are a basement and lower level. I am on the basement level and the plan region cut plane is set to lower level and it is cut @ 4'. The top is lower level @ 7'-6" and the bottom and view depth are on basement @0'-0". If I turn the underlay on to show the lower level the stairs show up.

In autocad, we would create an xref of the unit, then xref as needed on base plans. Thus the ability to place multiple xrefs of the unit on various levels while maintatining the ability to make one change to the original unit plan and have it update thru out the project....How would we do this in Revit?
I am working in a project where I need to represent the reflecting ceiling edges in the plan view. I put the first floor plan as underlay, and selected the RCP projection but I don't see the dropped ceiling lines to select them with the linework command. I have done every thing possible with the view range but I don't see the lines.
View 7 Replies View RelatedWe have our first project in Revit that we are having to split among multiple sheets because of the size of the building, so I have made 3 dependent views from the main overall view, named them, cropped them and placed each part (A,B, and C) on separate sheets. Now that I am trying to do enlarged toilet plan views, I want to tag the plans with the plan callouts on the 1/8” sheets that are the dependent views, but all the view tags are referencing dependent view A since it is the first dependent view in the list. If I change sheet A to be named Sheet X for instance, all the view tags now reference sheet B since that becomes the first dependent view alphabetically. I want them to reference the sheet they appear in, but I can’t seem to figure out how to do that, even though they are in different dependent views completely and within the crop region, they all default to the first dependent view in alphabetical order.
View 4 Replies View RelatedSo I've created this wall section and used viewbreaks to break the crop regios up so i can fit the final view on a sheet.The problem is, when I place the broken up section on a sheet, the viewport does not break up like the view region.
How do i break up the viewport on the sheet so I can squeeze the visable regions together?
I have exhausted search efforts for only one filled region type allowed in a detail view.
What is strange, this trash enclosure wall displays the plan view filled region (referenced via callout), but when I try to show a hatch for concrete and a hatch for metal door, in elevation, the filled region changes "all" filled regions to what ever is chosen.
Then I tried a new circle to see if that changed things. same deal
Is there a way to control the color of a field region when it is exported to Autocad? I believe the boundary of the field region dictates the color of the filled region when exported to Autocad. Is there any way to override this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a custom view title family for the office (see attached). We'd like to have a label for Drawing Type (ie. "Building Plan" in the attached image) in the view title which would appear in the properties tab under identity data, next to the standard Title on Sheet, View Name, etc.
In the project, I am able to create a project parameter which appears as desired in the properties tab, but am unable to add the parameter inside the family when creating it. It seems impossible to add this parameter to the standard view title family template (alongside Detail Number, Sheet Number, etc.).
I tried it using a Generic Annotation family, but in the project, Revit does not recognize that family as a view category family and therefore you cannot choose this family when setting your view type.
I've been downloading some families from seek. Each time I download, I open the family and then load it into the current project. Well, during the load into current project, the view switches from Level 1 New (the active view before the family load) to Level 1 Existing, the first view in the project. Is this intentional or a bug?

i'm not sure if he's using revit architecture because he just refers to it as Revit 2014. i made a floor plan below the 0 mark but things will be tidier if i could make structural plan views.
Why does Revit open an identical sheet view when loading a family? I end up with the same view open twice.

I'm currently looking into switching from Vectorworks to Revit due to a job application I'm being offered. What I really want to know is if the following floor plan is possible to make in Revit. I just want floor plans to be with color to better show the different things on it and make them more clear.
I also want to know if it is possible to show symbols in a plan view other than just a rendered hidden line view of the 3D part of it, so I can have a simplified version for the plan view and a detailed object for the 3D. Like you have a 2D-plan component for the plan views and e 3D component for all other views.
How to draw filled region boundary lines that show up in any color other than gray? it is hard to distinguish the lines I am drawing from the lines that are already there while creating or modifing a boundary. Can I change the color of the Invisible Line (can't find that line modify)? OR does every line created thru manage line style have to have a weight (am I able to make a zero line weight or even a pattern that shows nothing.

Explain the logic behind the differences between RVT Categories and how they display in Plan View?
Example:
I made a custom component (Family) that was set as the 'Generic Model'
Category.
When placed, its elevation was set above the Cut Plane but below the Top of the Primary View Range for the Plan View. The Object displayed in its entirety. I then decided that this component was really better categorized as
'Specialty Equipment'. So, I re-assigned it in the Family Editor, and re-loaded it into my Project. As I did this, the object disappeared from Plan View. I then switched to a 3D View to verify it was still present in the model - and it was.
So why does Generic Model Display, and not Specialty Equipment, I ask? I've discovered that if I lower the Elevation of the Specialty Equipment to exist at or below the Cut Plane, but above the Bottom of the Primary View Range; it will display in Plan View. I've also tested and discovered that adding Symbolic Lines to the Plan View of the Specialty Equipment in the Family Editor and re-loading into the Project will not overcome this issue of elevation - if the object is above the Cut Plane the Symbolic lines will not display either.
I note that Specialty Equipment does not have a "Cut" setting for Lineweights in Object Styles, and Generic Model does. Is this the indicator for this display behavior that I'm experiencing? And if so, why is 'Specialty Equipment' regulated to this type of Category? Why not have a 'Cut' setting for it?
Quite a fair bit of an Architectural model gets lumped into this Category:
lockers, toilet accessories, kitchen equipment, medical equipment, etc.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have created a "Jersey Barrier" as an adaptive component (attached). It is basically a profile extruded along a series of reference lines hooked to adaptive points.
In some plan views, under certain geometric configurations, the extrusion disappears in the view. The points highlight if you mouse over them. In a parallel 3D view, the component is still there. If I adjust the geometry in certain ways, the component will reappear in the plan view.
Here is an isolated view (3D on left, plan on right) with a configuration where the object does not appear in plan.here's a view where I have moved one of the adaptive points, and it appears in plan.
I created few families then loaded into project when i placed them all one of the type was not visible in Level view.
