Revit :: Inverted Masking Region
Jan 10, 2012
I have been working on a few projects where the site plans are done by the Engineer in AutoCAD. They are campus-sized site plans so to re-create them in Revit would be too time consuming. So, I am linking them into my model.
So, what I have been doing is creating several masking regions around the perimeter of the site plan in Revit in order to 'crop' the sites as necessary - I do not want to create several different site plans in CAD and bring them in separately as to avoid multiple updating when the site changes).
Is there an 'inverse' masking region where the outside of the masking region is what masks instead of the inside of the enclosed masking perimeter?

I have a large Revit model with a linked model containing many notes and symbols. The problem that I am having is that since the structure is so large I need many blow-up plans for particular zones, even though these plans are using crop regions the notes from the linked file still show outside the cropped area?
Is there any work around for this ? I have looked into scope boxes, section box, and plan regions but none of these will solve the problem.

I have an annotation tag which has a colored title bar using a colored region as a background to the title text. However having created a standard drafting detail in a 'Standard Details' project, using one of these annotation tags, when copied into a new project the color is replaced by black losing the title text in the background.

I have made crop region lines to be heavy lines on elevations and it shows heavy lines on my monitor . When I created PDF file or print preview, it does not show any heavy lines of crop region lines.

We are trying to take advantage of non-rectangular crop regions and running into an issue. We are placing (2) views with non-rectangular crop regions on a sheet, one view shows existing geometry in a linked model and the other view shows new geometry in the model the sheet resides in. As a side note, we are doing this to create simplified diagrammatic phasing plans, the merits of which should be another topic. What seems to be happening, is the graphics within the rectangular boundary of the view, but outside of the crop region is masking the other view. The graphics appear correct in the print preview and on a print. Please see images for a clearer understanding.I have tried turning off hardware acceleration and anti-aliasing with no change.

The linked model from our electrical engineer its lights are at the correct height but the ACT ceiling is still running its lines throiugh the lights. how do we take care of this to where the linked model which has the lights in it cut through our ACT ceiling from our central model?

How to locate the 'starting point' for hatch patterns and filled regions? I am laying the hatch in a bathroom and I want the pattern (which is representing tile) to start in a particular corner.

I am trying to find where to control the Crop Region Line. I'd love to be able to creat view templates to control visibility and also Line Weight. Currently we are turning them off per view. and only want it on for 3D View and Interior elevations.
I know that by selecting each view crop region, right clicking and overriding by element I can control the weight.

I have a drawing model where I cannot create a filled region in one sheet, but on other sheets in the same model I can. the filled region appears but does not mask anything - it is transparent. Transparency is set correctly (to zero) and I have tried bringing it to the front.

I'm unable to select the fill region. I thought it's the invisible line not checked under VV but it is.
So what's causing the fill region that can be selected and highlighted.

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?

I have a Floor Plan View and it was modeled up everything good displays and prints correctly (drawing 2 on the attached pdf) . I have another Floor Plan View which was create via duplicating the first one - therefore the majority of the drawing is the same. However, the filled region through the center of the duplicated view is obscuring the other modeled objects when it is printed.
The region is set to transparent (as can be seen when it is viewed on screen) the filled region has been sent to back, and the other objects are all on exactly the same layers in both documents (as they are identical apart from other noting which has nothing to do with the actual filled region).
why the filled region would be obscuring the objects in one drawing and not the other? The only way I can find to get the objects to print which are "covered" by the filled region is to turn the region off, which defeats the purpose as it is there for a reason? This happens with hard copy printing and also to pdf. Printer is set to raster printing .

Is it possible to automatically show a line over cropped elements when using crop region?
I'd like not to show the whole rectangle of the crop region, but only where that rectangle intersects an element...

in 2012 I was able to have filled regions with a model pattern. In 14 the bubble to change the cut fill pattern is greyed out. I need to be able to rotate a pattern so i need a model one.

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.

I have some sections and am using the break line with a masked region but in Revit 2013 the masked region only works in the Wireframe Graphics display option. It does not work in the Hidden Line display. It was fine in 2012

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.

So 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 created a 'Title Block' family which I am wanting to use as a 'drawing stamp', being used to mark an existing drawing sheet carried forward to another phase of the project as being from the previous phase. To do this I have created a filled region with an opaque white background and a grey border (gray) to form the extent of the 'stamp'. I have then created a number of labels for the relevant information and added some lines as borders to the labels.
The problem comes when it is used on a project sheet since the label border lines do not appear. Since the commands to 'send to the back' or 'bring to the front' are absent when editing a title block I wonder why this is? Logic suggests that the only workaround is to create a number of filled regions, in jigsaw style, one for each label and to use their borders as the label borders. However, this seems an enormously long winded an probably kilobyte hungry way of achieving something that should possibly be very simple. I have to say that it may also have an easy solution that I may have used before but forgotten.

I am teachnig a class on Revit and I see a new check box in the setup dialog box for printing.I did go to help file and this is what it says: "Region edges mask coincident lines. Select this option if you want the edges of masking regions and filled regions to cover lines with which they coincide. (This option is available only if the Vector Processing option is enabled.)"

I'm an Archicad User and I'm evaluating Revit at the moment as I'm interested in a better integration with other Autodesk products.I have two questions though that Google and the Docs couldn't answer me.
1- I have an Annotated Region (a polygon), how can I annotate an angled measure of an edge? I've tried the aligned dimension tool and this link: URL....
2- What's the proper way to join a point of an edge to another edge without changing the length? (somehow to 'rotate' an edge around one point and 'snap' the other point to another edge). I'm using a circle tool and snapping to intersection at the moment.
Also, I know this isn't the best place to ask, but is Revit worth the change? I mean, i'm completely satisfied with Archicad and so far Revit isn't very intuitive at all and the workflow seems it's never going to be on-par with Archicad, I'm considering the change solely for the fact that Revit may have a much better integration with AutoCAD, AutoCAD MEP, and other Autodesk softwares.

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

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.

I have a solid gray filled region that is set to be transparent that is not being transparent. We are trying to put a gray tone over the existing area of the plan. what is weird is that I did the exact same thing to another view & it works perfectly with the region in the background & all the wals & doors showing up correctly. I can't figure out what is different between one view & another.
I've tried changing the filled region to be "moved to back" but nothing changes. if I override the graphics of the element & change it to be transparent the it goes away all together.

I think I might have accidentally used a wrong key command but as I was working on my digital art peice; the yellow from the layer I was working on turned green. So I thought to myself I must have accidentally pressed the key command for inverting the colors on the layer. But when I tried to invert it again, hoping it would turn to yellow again, it actually turned purple. So I zoomed in but then all of the other layers changed colors too. Some of the layers retained their original color but are still distorted and inverted.
I tried closing photoshop and reopening the document but to no avail. I also tried resetting all of the settings but that didn't do anything either. I think I'm going to have a heart attack if I can't fix this problem; I spent months on this and I have about a thousand layers ...
