Revit :: Hide Decal Line (rectangle With X Inside)
Jun 14, 2013
I am using Revit 2013 student version. I have successfully attached a decal on one of my walls and managed to show a realistic mode of the decal in my elevation. I would like to remove the decal lines (rectangle with x inside) but I am struggling to do this.
I have done some research on the web and so far, found out that I need to select the decal lines (or cross), right click and choose Override Graphics in View > By Element, and check Transparent. The problem is, my system does not display the option for Transparent; I am only given the boxes for Visible and Half-tone.
I have a 3D (Camera View) of an interior where I have a number of picture frames placed on the walls. Each frame has a painting 'Decal' and all but 1 render correctly leaving a blank frame.
Is it possible to apply a decal to a curved surface? I need to place an image on a wrapping projector screen. When I try to place the decal, it only will choose 1 of the arcs or one of the straight peices. I need the one decal to stretch over the entire projector screen. I have attached a screen shot so you can see what I am trying to achieve.
Is there a way within AutoCAD to delete all objects within a rectangle (closed polygon) or all objects outside of the rectangle?
This then leads on to the question if you can trim to a rectangle or extend to it. I believe I have seen it done somewhere, but it was a long time ago.
I know there are LISP routines out there that can do it, but just this once I want to do it the hard way ;-))
My problem is I have received a drawing from someone else, but I only need part of it. So before inserting it into my drawing I need to get rid of the stuff I don't need. It's easy enough to define the boundary of the area I need, a rectangle or polygon.
Is there a way to put constraints on text and a rectangle? I'm trying to make a block so if i change the text the rectangle around it grows automatically. I know it's simple enough to just manually extend it but one of my engineers asked me to try and create this for him and i can figure it out.
how to mirror about a line, but the line was outside the object.
I now have a need to mirror about a line but the line is partially inside the object (so after mirroring the object would be overlapped). When I select both objects and try to create the mirror, the "axis" of the reflection is simply the edge of the object, not the line.
When the line was outside, that worked simply because when you selected both objects the line brought the outside of both selected objects to that point so it simply mirrored / reflected at that point (the line). So the line was not truly acting as a point of reflection. Hope that made sense.
I think I'm about to buy Cadtools from Macromonster but I would like to know if Draw has a way of acheiving this. Hey I may find out Cadtools can't reflect when the line is inside the object.
When I add a section tag to a dense area of an elevation, the detail number and sheet number often get lost in the clutter. How can I hide the content behind the callout head?
There are many examples of creating rectangular patterns, but not many, if any, of interrogating existing patterns.I have attached the files and a screenshot of a rectangular part inside an assembly. The part contains a rectangular pattern of holes and workplanes.how do I get hold of each proxy of the workplane in the pattern?In other words I don't know what to put in the for loop at the end of this code fragment:
If _invApp.Documents.Count = 0 Then MsgBox("Need to open an the assembly document") ReturnEnd If If _invApp.ActiveDocument.DocumentType <> DocumentTypeEnum.kAssemblyDocumentObject Then MsgBox("Need to have an Assembly document active") ReturnEnd If Dim asmDoc As Assembly Document asmDoc = _invApp.ActiveDocument Dim asmDef As AssemblyComponentDefinition asmDef = asmDoc.ComponentDefinition im occurrences As ComponentOccurrencesoccurrences. [code]....
I am having problems with void that i cant hide in my project. The void is inside my generic family but wont apply a cut unless i apply a length parameter to it. The problem i that in my project it seems to be visible as a yellow box that will also appear when printed.
Is it possible to hide this in the project by any way?
Is there a way to hide the lines between areas created via the split face tool? If not, my end goal is to have an area on a surface appear a different color than the surrounding area, with no lines between. The surface is the face of an extrusion in an in-place family.
One of my draftsman is trying to put an identification Tag on one of our assembly.We made a symbol with our tag, and we put it on whatever where trying to identify directly on the presentation.
Our problem is that where not able to remove whatever is behind that symbol so that we can make that Tag readable.Is it possible to make only part of a line invisible in our presentation?
The file we generated is on the right side of the image, in both PREVIEW and OUTLINE views. You can see that letters "I" in the logos are boxes and the bottom horizontal stripe is a filled box. In the art file they received, the capital letters "I" in the art and the horizontal box have become paths with DASHES applied.
I have a rectangle (looks like a label border) showing up in my room tag. It's a simple tag taken from the OOTB room tag family. I'v re-edited the family, checked the parameters and values. All label borders are off, but this one looks like its either part of a separate, invisible label or a separate rectangle that I can't find to delete.
I have a query as to how I could automate the replacing of selected individual lines with predetermined sized rectangular blocks centered on the line at the angle and on the “0” layer . See attached file:
The rectangle need not necessarily be a polyline, 4 single lines would be sufficient. And whether the original line is or is not replaced is unimportant either.
I have a donut shaped image, including the "donut hole" inner circle. The donut contains swirls made up of different colors. The problem is, when I apply the cut contour line to the image, it wants to cut the lines inside the donut, along with the outer and inner circle.
When I apply boundary, it does not include the cut line on the inner circle. I want to print/cut, and want the circle gone.
How to put text inside a line and then bend both of them to fit a line in graph. I've made a line at 22 points and then I've put text inside. Thought it would look cool. How do I make them become one so that I can bend them together? And how do I bend them the easiest way?
Are there any neat tricks to scaling a DWG inside a block with parameters? I would assign a scale factor parameter to Instance Scale but as I can't I'm looking for a workaround.
I have a some 2D elevation trees that I want in my 3D tree block and alI just want to control the height. The problem is that if I explode the DWG in a family everything just disappears .
I created a kitchen counter in Revit 2011 however, when I try to create a section it does not show what a section should show such as the shelves that are inside the cabinet. It just basically shows what an elevation would show. I checked all my settings and everything is good. What could be the problem? I created another family as well and when I do a section it shows what should be seen in a section. The same thing happens when I put the counter into a project. The section does not show correctly as well as the wireframe visual style does not show in plan view. It show as if it were in hidden line.
Is there a way to make an outline that is either only on the inside or the outside of the center line of the outline? I know that the default in Corel is to center the outline on the center line of the outline.
i have drawing contain many circles block and inside this cirle line throuh what i want i can tim line inside this circle but if you have lisp or any way to keep this line inside circle but not show in plot
I created a square in which I have to draw vertical lines in it. I want the first line to start at 2.5 cm from the left segment of the square.
In a different way to say it just to be clear enough, I want to align the segment (inside the square) from the left vertical line of the square, put 2.5 cm to the right, and then there's my line.
When I try to align it using the align tool, I use the square as a key object. But it select ALL the square, so it puts my line 2.5 cm but to the far right of the square, outside my artwork. I'd want to select only the left line of the square.
