Currently I have created Rooms and a Legend such that I have a coloured Plan View by Room department.
The colour boundaries extend to the centre line of the defining Walls. Is there a way to get the coloured zones to follow the Room boundaries?
I realise I can overwrite the Wall pattern and use a Solid pattern to hide the colour - but this is not what I want ...
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 RelatedIn our company we currently model using coloured lines rather than the Revit desired black/white but we are more and more being asked to print the odd view on a sheet with coloured lines or a coloured 3d view.
As some of us have grown up on th edrawing board through to Revit we are so used to the coloured lines and feel that it gives the drawing depth and is so much easier to understand.
I have been trying every way to keep the coloured linies but using view templates. filters and phasing to enable me to change views quickly from coloured to black and then back but there is no easy quick transition especially as we can't use these to change standard linetypes.
Why Autodesk have made this such a difficult issue within revit... Now we can model in 3D, create schedules automatic yet Autocad is much better for plotting...
We 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.

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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'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.

I've got some troubles creating a proper ceiling plan. What goes wrong (imo) is that my wall sweep is shown on my ceiling plan while it shouldn't.First image shows the ceiling plan. (on image 3 you will see the wall sweep I mentioned in red).

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).

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.
by 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?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm attempting to delete a design option that we created in order to alleviate model creation conflicts. We were testing whether it was to be a sub-category design option or a main heading, so I just modeled a couple things (in a floor plan that was created months ago in another design option) to try and get them to show up. When I realized that sub-category was not the way to go, I tried to delete that design option and it removed the floor plan I was using.
I examined the "Visible in Option" line and it has the name of an option that I'm not deleting, so....? Now what? I just want to clean up my model and remove that test design option.
I use all the time L shape and U shape winder stairs in combination with the Monolithic Type.
We use to concrete the monolithic part of the stairs and then dress the stairs with treads and risers. The new tool looks that working very nice.
So OK I draw the U shape winder stair and of course i want to construct the stairs.
I want to prepape a detail plan view with dimensions only for the Monolithic Part (Concrete) of the stair but i can't find a way to dispay only the monolithic part without Treads and Riser.It is possible in 3d view but no in plan view. The news tool that calculate winder stairs is "half job done" if i can't print with dimension the concrete part of the winder stairs.
The Cut Plane in a Plan View doesn't really represent the cut component but instead some kind of projection.In my case, I use a lot of Face Based Windows and Doors since my walls are often slanted. The Plan View representation of these components doesn't look right. A workaround is placing these components in a Component/Model in Place environment.
