Revit :: Format Of Surface Element

Feb 6, 2013

I am exporting gbXML file from Revit Architecture 2013. And I am looking at the format of the name of the surface element. According to the Autodesk wikihelp, I understand that it is composed in a form as : orientation-space-(other space)-exposure-type-sequence number-(opening type)
 
It means if the surface is an interior wall surface, there will be two adjacent space names recored here. such as N-101-102-E-W-D-84 
 
But I notice that in my gbXML file, I have some terms like :  B-2-2-I-F-10, B-2-2-I-F-16, X-1-1-I-O-6, and  X-1-1-I-O-15,  I notice that when the orientation is "Bottom" or it is a type of "air", the space names will repeated twice.

3ds Max :: Render Element Output Files - Format And Name

Aug 31, 2011

Sometime with some scenes, I have this trouble :

-when I render my beauty pass in TIF 16bits with render elements and when I leave MAX set my render-elements output files automatically, MAX use the initial name of the output beauty pass. So technically, It is suppose to make a couple of file with the same format and the same name.
-ok, I presse render to Backburner and I wait.
-Now my render is done, I go check my output files. And, sometimes, without constancy, my beauty pass is a TIF 16bits but my passes are in gray-scale or in 8bits or 16bits in random.

If I restart the job on Backburner, maybe it fix this problem, maybe not.

The unique thing I find to fix that is to set all my passes manually. but it's a pretty heavy process.

Revit :: Searching With Element IDs?

Dec 4, 2012

I am used to searching for Elements by using their IDs, however in editing a door family I have been stumped by a dialogue, herewith:
  
The unusual thing with this is that this dialogue is always followed by another stating that 'No good view could be found', whatever view I try to look for them in!  Having opened every view in the family and done a search I am wondering what next to do?

Revit :: Import / Export Element Information?

Feb 13, 2014

I'm working on a project incorporating field inspections into a Revit model.  I have a model built, and I'm trying to export information regarding each structural element (family, type & instance, dimensions, etc)  into an 'inspection sheet' (excel spreadsheet or text file).  After the field inspection, my goal is to update the Revit model with inspection results.  For example, damage to a beam might include a reduced cross sectional area/reduced moment of inertia.

Revit :: Applying Project Parameters To Element

Sep 28, 2012

How do I apply a Project Parameter (not Shared Parameter) that I created in Manage> Settings > Project Parameters to an existing element.
 
Following the instructions under Creating a Project Parameter in WikiHelp for Revit 2013, I created a Project Parameter called "Equipment ID" (common, text, text) in Manage> Settings > Project Parameters. In the process I clicked the Modify button and assigned it to all Categories by checking all boxes. However, when I opened the family editor for a piece of electrical equipment, selected an element (an extrusion), and then went into the Family Types dialog and clicked Add Parameter, it did not give me the option of adding Project Parameters, only Shared Parameters.
 
WikiHelp, under "Project Parameters", states "Project parameters are parameters you define and then add to multiple categories of elements in a project", but does not say how to "add" them to the element and doesn't direct me to another section that dose.

Revit :: Detail Level By Type Or Element?

Revit :: How To Change The Category Of The Element To Roof

Aug 22, 2011

Problem: in order to get Revit Mep to calculate roofs in the heatload calculation I the floor I used need to be a roof.
 
Revit MEP does not calculate any roof area since in my model I used floors to finish a level. Which i architurally correct. But partially it's also a roof. Revit Mep does not use the floor as a roof. So what i want to do is to redefine a complex floor with lots of curved sides etc. into a roof. 
 
The question is: is it possible to just tell revit somehow to change the categorie of the element to roof? or do I have to redraw the whole floor as a flat roof?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Import Surface Into Revit To Merge Surface And Buildings Together?

Jul 29, 2013

I have a project involving 3 programs. I am creating a planned development in 3d to be 3d printed when finished. The project is a 5 acre tract containing 8 buildings. I have built the surface in C3D and each building in Revit. The buildings are not in the same Revit file. For my solid work, I will bring the files over into 3ds Max Design to section into smaller quadrants to build in the 3d printer.

The questions:

Would it be better to import the surface into Revit to merge surface and buildings together?

Would it be better to import the buildings into C3D to merge entities?

Would it be better to bring those entities into 3ds Max and then merge them into one? Will 3ds Max Design allow me to insert entities accurately in the environment?

Revit :: Detail Component Fill Patterns - Align To Element

I've utilized the Plywood-Section detail component out of the Imperial

Library, and it runs left-to-right, no matter the orientation of the element I drew. Messing with the Fill Pattern settings, it looks identical if I set the Plywood-Align pattern to "Align to Element", or "Orient to View". Nothing changes.

Revit :: Door Cutting Out Plaster Wall Wrap Element At Opening

Oct 4, 2013

Is the attached possible? I'm trying to cut out the plaster wrap to a wall, but can't figure out how to do it.
 
I've had a look at using reference planes in the door family object, but they don't seem to be able to do this?
 
Simply checking the wall type to wrap at only the external insert isn't going to work as I want the recess in the plaster to be away from the door frame edge.

Revit :: Can't Export FBX Format

Oct 15, 2012

I am currently using Revit Architecture 2012 and am trying to export a project file in a .fbx format to start using Autodesk Showcase which I just downloaded a free trial for. For whatever reason, Revit won't let me export any file in a .fbx format. Instead of being able to click on that as an option, it's greyed out. Is there an update I need to download or an fbx plug-in I need to get to utilize the fbx exporting function??
 
PS: I've put myself in the 3D view which I know can be an issue of why the fbx export function is greyed out.

Revit :: How To Print To A PDF Format

Sep 3, 2013

I have a free program called PDF factory that lets me "print" to a PDF format to scale and works great. Except I tried to do it with a "shaded" building with sheet metal on as the walls, so evenly spaced vertical lines as the patter. The walls look perfect on the elevation views and the 3D view. but when I try to save the "print" to the PDF view the lines are not evenly spaced and there are not many of them. Is there a better way to export to a PDF? It says when I "print" to my PDF format that Revit will use Raster, could this be causing the problem? If so, how so I use vector?

I received from our client a dwg file. i follow the steps in creating a topo surface file from a dwg within revit. However, revt include also the zero Z-elevation points within the file. And so it igave me a very weird result of the toposurface.

Know any good procedure in preparing a dwg file before importing/linking to revit or rather excluding all zero Z-elevation points.

Revit :: Topo Surface Not Working

Oct 24, 2013

For some reason I cannot generate a topo surface using the attached autocad file.
 
The levels are on a layer called LEVELS.  The points next to the levels are on layer "0".
 
Some of the levels are negative ... ie: below sea level.
 
No topo surface gets generated and no error message appears.

Revit :: Visibility Of Topographic Surface Edges

May 20, 2013

In Revit LT 2014, I've tried unsuccessfully to override the color of topographic surface edges in my model to white, so the edges don't show up in plan views.  I've tried through the Object Styles menu, Override Graphics In View By Element, and Override Objects In View By Category, but nothing has worked.  These overrides have worked for me in the past in previous Revit Arch versions, so I don't know if LT just doesn't have that capability, or it's a bug. 

I can't simply extend the topo surface past the view window edges (I only want to show contour lines on my site, since they've been surveyed, but the neighboring site has not been surveyed, so I don't want to guess at them).  I really just want to hide the toposuface boundary edge.

Revit :: How To Add Surface To Individual Floors On Same Level

May 2, 2012

I'm just a novice when it comes to this program, a student in High school so I'm not very familiar with it.
 
Why is it that when I change one floor's surface (tile,carpet, ect.) and then make a seperate floor on the same floor but with a different surface, it changes BOTH floors like they are instances of each other?
 
How can I add a surface to individual floors on the same level? Ex. Carpet in living room, Tile in Bathroom.
