Revit :: North / West And South Views Show All Of Level Lines But East View Does Not?
Apr 17, 2013
I am currently working on a project and i created a land plot and set each level line to the proper elevation but not all of the level lines appear in every view. In the North view all of the level lines and the walls i have created appear, but the walls don't show up in any of the other views. Also the North, West, and South views show all of the level lines but the East view does not.
I'm drawing ref lines in south view and thats no problem, and works fine, but when I change to East view, the problems start to increase, once I draw a ref line, the line is not visible, and I get a "warning" that says: "None of the created elements are visible in Elevation: East View. You may want to check the active view, its Parameters, and Visibility settings."
What's that all about? I can't seem to get the line to show no matter what I do.
Two of my elevation markers (North and East) have disappeared. The actual elevations are still visible and fully functional, but their tags have disappeared. "Elevations" is turned on in the View Properties dialog, but only 2 tags appear.
I am working in C3D 2013 creating a new "clean" template and continue to have the problem of the view cube east and west getting flipped. I've had this problem occasionally in the past and by editing the GEOGRAPHICLOCATION seemed to solve this. Generally I noticed the "z" coordinate setting would flip from a "+" to a "-" thus causing the "e" & "w" swap. My problem is that this is no longer a permanent fix. Every time I open the dwg I am have to edit the GEOGRAPHICLOCATION.
I know I could just turn off the view cube and pretend I never saw this issue but I'm worried this may cause other problems when it comes to coordinates and survey data.

I would like to display East and West coordinates at certain points ( like circle center lines etc.). how can i do this so that the display is accurate and readable?
After creating a spinning globe with the filters/animation/spinning globe tool from a planet surface map .jpg image, there is a noticeable seam running longitudinally between the north and south pole. Is there a way to fill-in or disguise the seam?
The underlay does not show up for Level 1 when I am on Level 2, but it does show up for Level 2 when I am on Level 1. the underlay option is on for Level 1, so I'm not sure why it's not showing up. I am using Revit 2014.
I have a text file of several surveyed ponts throughout my model. I can select one of these points in my model and specify the coordinates of East/West, North/South, and elevation from this file, but how do I determine the angle from project north to true north from these surveyed points?
If Inventor 2010 has the capability of showing certain parts/sub-assemblies in phantom style lines on the idw/dwg file?
I have a box unit, where I want to show the base, but with the posts meeting it in phantom. Then when I do the drawing for the posts, I want the base and roof in phantom. Then when I do the roof drawing, I want the posts in phantom again.
I can't change the BOM level as it will apply to every level of detail. when suppressed, they completely vanish. Is there a way to do it rather than find the parts in the browser (whilst in the drawing) and change the properties (over-riding them)?
It is almost seeming like you should not try to creat these views in templates to get a jump start on projects. but for the life of me I am not understanding how you can get level lines to appear elevations that have already been create. or in new ones?is there away to successfully get these back?
I am working on a project with Split Levels like a Multi-level CarPark. I need to produce plans by combining two Levels which are at 3M height difference.
While using Plan Region, Some of the walls dont show as cut, though their height is more & above the Cut Plane Level.
I did find a quick solution online here - [URL] ... This trick is still not working for some of the walls..
Is there a way to set the visibility of elements in a 3D view according to the Level they are associated with?
The VG tab which opens the filter dialog provides a check box for the "Levels" category, and the relevant parameters are made available.
But I can not seem to create a filter rule which evaluates any of those parameters (name, elevation, etc...) to then isolate the visibility of those elements in the 3D view that either meet, or do not meet the criteria. Nothing seems to work.
To achieve a "similar" effect in a 3D view, I can use a Section Box, but that is a very clunky and imprecise way.I can also create a Shared Parameter for "Level" and perhaps filter successfully that way, but that seems redundant with the Levels intelligence already established.
I created 2x levels earlier in the project, but now need to delete them. For some reason there not selectable which means I can’t highlight nor nor delete them.
I'm trying to create workset by view level , for example I need to assign each floor in the building to separated users and by that way I let more people shares in creating one revit model. I create worksets by views but I notice that I still can open any view level and I can add elements . Is there any way to lock the not editable views from opening and adding a new elements and make it secure ?
I would like to have two different layouts of my site plan. One is existing and does not show any of the new construction. The other is a complete view of the project. Is there a way to keep the existing site plan dependent while turning off the new construction to show only the previous + demo? If I set up a view template I cannot alter in the dependent view to make the changes that I want as options are greyed out. Is the only way to do this to create them as independent views?
I tend to use my 3d views often to pan around my building. I often go from hidden lines to shaded to wireframe but theres seems to be now way to do this now on revit 2013. What happened? what are the settings to fix this?
I was curious if there was an option to set up what linked view would be set when creating and duplicating views. Its a little time staking when you have 6-7 linked files and need to make 20-30 elevations/sections. I was thinking there would be a way to setup the views so they're ready to go when you create them.
How do I show high level walkways and balconies (in dashed outline) on the ground floor plan in a high volume space?
Obviously I can turn the first floor RCP on in the view and manually draw the information, but I assume these lines won't move if the walkways above move (or am I wrong?). Also this seems slightly wrong given the amount of automation available.
In the sample file, RAC Advanced Sample File, there is an entry canopy. It is constructed as a generic roof placed on level 2.
I noticed that on the first floor plan, this roof slab shows as dashed lines. How is this done? I tried copying/duplicating this roof, but dashed lines do not show.
I am having a problem with the show hidden line command, because when used in the project I can see dashed lines and continuous lines. I was looking for how to manage the line pattern in this command but there is no way to do it.
I'm new to Revit and could understand the explanation of how to show a door as open in the 3d view. How I can show my 3d doors as open. Also I am using Revit Building 9.1.
I'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.
How do you set the view range to show a window with a sill height of 5'-0" and a dog door with a head height of 2' in the same wall on a floor plan view?
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.
