Revit :: Moving Model To New Vertical Elevation?

Jul 28, 2011

My problem is trying to move the project model to a new elevation some 1000+ feet higher than the 0'0" schematic design elevation. When using the "shared" solution, it will work for the model but not for the Topo as the topo is also tied to the Project base point, so when one uses shared it also moves the topo map 1000+ feet higher. I'm trying to find a way where the project elevation can be adjusted to the base point elevation so both topo and model elevations coordinate with each other. It's a 4 level project with many exterior retaining wall levels. I'm almost to the point of doing a full copy of the project to the clipboard and then importing it at the level 1000+ feet higher.

Revit :: Moving Building Heights (elevation)

Feb 17, 2012

I have a 3 story building.  We are almost finished with design development.  I need to raise the building's first floor which will cause all the other floors to change their level heights.  I have been told that we need to fake in level markers because to change the level heights will cause all the information (for example dimensions) to disappear because they are 'tied' to the original level height.  Is there a way to raise the building without loosing all the work that has been done?

Revit :: Model Lines On Elevation

Feb 26, 2014

I am in the process of drawing up an existing building and firstly am setting up with the building mass. I have managed to get the main bodys of the building done and the main roof.The problem now is that when i switch too the east or west elevations to add mass for the roofs on the adjoining wings of the building it wont let me see the model lines when i draw them in the screen i just get an error message " None of the created elements are visible in Elevation: East View. You may want to check the active view, its Parameters, and Visibility settings. "I have my reference line set not far from the building and it seemed fine when i done the roof from the north and south views for the main building. I can see the model lines when i switch too 3D views but i cant create the mass from there.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Split Profile - Vertical (elevation) Grid Marks

Nov 19, 2013

I received a file from another office which had a split profile. The only issue that my project manager and I have with it is that the profile lines themselves run from station limit to station limit, and therefore the profile lines run through the vertical (elevation) numbers. Is there a way to adjust the vertical (elevation) grid marks to clean this up?

I've attached a picture of how it looks now.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Moving Points With Nod Grip Without Elevation Changing

Nov 13, 2013

I recently upgraded from Civil 3D 2009 to Civil 3D 2014.  In Civil 3D 2009 I was able to set the point style 3D modeling to flatten the point to a 0.00 elevation. In doing this I could move the point around freely using the nod grip without the elevation changing weather I used object snap or just freehand placed the point.

For some reason with 2014 when I grab the nod grip it changes the elevation to 0.00 as soon as I move it from the location it currently sits despite the fact that everything is set the same as it was setup for 2009.  Is there a setting that I need to change to fix this or is there a new way to go about moving the point without using a bunch of different commands.

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Digital Elevation Model TIFF Not Recognized

Feb 8, 2012

I am attempting to use the Indiana Spatial Data Portal's 2005 Digital Elevation Model data to create a 3D contour map.  The provided ZIP files each include: TIF, TFW, RRD, and AUX.  The TFW and AUX files appear to be insignificant metadata.  MAPIIMPORT fails to insert the GeoTIFF.  You can download it yourself by going here, go to Single FIle Download on the left-hand side, then click anywhere on the map, then click again anywhere on the map.  You are given a list of datasets.  Download the dataset labeled "2005 IndianaMap Digital Elevation Model."

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Model A Force Main With Several Vertical And Horizontal Bends?

Sep 5, 2012

I am trying to model a force main with several vertical and horizontal bends.  Getting the network set up and drawing in the pipe segments with the styles is a sinch, what I am having trouble with is modelling the horiz and vert bends to show up both in plan and profile view.  I have done many sany and storm profiles but this is a first time with a force main.  Does Civil 3d have the capability of modelling these or is this more of an MEP type task?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Model Tail Fin (vertical Stabilizer) For Aeromodel Design

Feb 7, 2013

I was trying to model the tail fin(vertical Stabilizer) for an aeromodel design. I inherited a dwg file of the tailfin with some poorly defined ribs that shape the fin. The fin tapers back and up.

My problem - I need to put in a brace which starts from the front of the lowest rib and goes back and up to the front of the topmost rib. and a pair of slots similar to the ones already modeled but further up towards the front. I hoped that a sweep feature on the assembly would do it but i am unable to create a rail and constrain it properly.

Another issue i had was to model a plastic film covering for the fin. An aeromodel uses a heatshrink monokote film. How would i model something like that in inventor.

The requisite files have been uploaded to dropbox.-

AutoCad :: Model Fewest Welds / Fittings Required To Change Angle And Elevation In Pipe Run

Jun 11, 2013

How do I model (or calculate) the fewest welds/fittings required to change angle and elevation in a pipe run, as shown in Option1 below.

For this example the constants are: 8" standard steel pipe, one of the fittings is a standard butt weld 45 (12" radius), bend angle is 70 degrees, and the elevation change is 9". The custom fitting is cut from a standard 8" long radius 90.

Note: Option2 is just shown for reference, I'm only interested in solving Option1

Revit :: Vertical Reveals With Doors

Jul 5, 2013

I need to model a wall in plan which has a section that is inset on one side.  The inset having beveled faces.  I have achieved this using a vertical wall reveal with a profile to suit the shape of the inset.  This works very well until I place a door in the centre of the wall where the reveal has reduced its width, the reveal disappearing and the door appearing in a full width wall.

Does this mean that a reveal cannot be used in this way and that I should find another way of modelling the reduced width wall? See drawings below:

Revit :: Visual Depth In Elevation

Dec 6, 2012

How to visually represent depth in an elevation?

The only answer I've found is to use linework, but that can't be the way to go in a program such as revit. That's the whole point of it, right? To not have to sit and do things manually and then have to change the lines every time something in the building changes. I know that Archicad can show line thickness depending on distance from elevation line. And god do i dislike Archicad, but that's exactly what I'm looking for.

Another answer I've found is to use shadows, but then you get the problem of only being able to print as raster = no sharp lines.

Revit :: Levels Not Showing In Elevation

May 9, 2010

I have inherited some Revit files, all of which have a ground floor and ceiling plan (hence an associated level).

The levels do not show the in elevations (or sections for that matter). It is not a view setting, I have checked this, nor are they hidden by category or element. I have added new levels and these are visible. The levels exist, I just cannot view them or select them.

Revit :: Reference Plane Elevation

Apr 25, 2012

When we draw a reference plane in a project in the Level 1 (0'  0" Elevation) then the  reference plane elevation shows  4’ 0” in the Specify Shared Coordinates Tab.  Why the elevation of reference plane shows the 4’ 0” height?  Is it default elevation for reference plane?

Revit :: Zero Z-elevation In Topo Surface

Oct 7, 2013

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 :: Flipping Objects Horizontal To Vertical

Apr 2, 2013

Alright, I made a custom bookshelf to fit under my stairs, however, when I created them, I made them on a horizontal plane, so when I loaded into my project, my book shelf is laying down in the middle of the living room floor, which was fun at first, but nearly an hour later I am not so amused. Is there a way to flip it vertically or do I have to remake the whole bookshelf?

Revit :: Default Elevation When Inserting Families

Jan 6, 2012

What determines the default elevation when inserting familes? I have a wall hosted family that always defaults to 4'-0". I have tried setting the default elevation in the family but it always defaults back to 4'. I have this issue with other familes as well.

I know I can set the elevation when I insert it but having to so that every time seems pointless when the elevation will never change for a family.

Revit :: Spot Elevation Finding Perimeter Only?

One of my colleagues was able to insert Spot Elevations by picking anywhere on the surface of his floor objects in his floor plan yesterday (2013 Central file with two users working).  Today, when he tries to place the same Spot Elevation object, he is only able to pick the floors at the perimeter of the floor objects instead of the surface of the floor.  what setting or mode they accidentally changed to prompt this unfortunate behavior?

Revit :: Glass Transparency In Elevation Views

Can you make a glass, which is transparency also in elevation views? In 3D views it is transparency and you can adjust it too, but not in elevation view? Is it so?
 
You can only hide it totally or let it be non transparency?
 
See illustration what I mean.
