Revit :: Temporary Dimensions Do Not Show?

Nov 5, 2013

I am using Revit 2014.  My temporary dimensions do not show.  When they do, they only show on one side.  I have gone to Manage>Additional Settings>Temporary Dimensions, and tried the different options.  It is making it very difficult to place things right now.  Is there an all on button I can push?  I have also tried closing and re-opening the file, turning off the computer, etc.  They were available for use yesterday morning and have not worked since.

Revit :: Temporary Dimensions Not Showing On Both Direction?

Jun 6, 2013

I'm placing lighting fixtures in an RCP, and after I place the light and select it, I only get temp dims in the vertical direction on screen, not the horizontal. Before I click to locate the object, the temp dims in both directions show up, but as soon as I click to place, only one tmep dim shows up.
 
If I place an aligned dimension from a wall face to the center of the light, and then selct the light, the dimension is not activated to adjust the distance. If I want to move the light, I have to drag it - I cannot input the distance into the dimension.
 
This makes trying to center a light in a room, or a set distance froma wall, next to impossible and extremely annoying and ecessively time comsuming.

Revit :: Wall Placement And Temp Dimensions?

Dec 16, 2011

I am sorta of new to Revit. I have been using it off and on for about 3 years and I have one burning question. What  and how does Revit determine where the temp dimension is based off of when you are placing new walls? I have had the temp dimension jump all the way across a plan to find a wall that I drew 3-4 hours ago and has no relevance to the current wall I am drawing. The space I am currently on has a geometric relationship to the walls around it, not to a partition wall 200 feet away with no relationship to the current space. Yes I understand the building as a whole has a relationship to all parts within, but I think you get the drift.

Revit :: How To Get Wall Sweep Set Up In Type / Structure Properties To Wall Profile Has Changed

Apr 12, 2012

Any way to get a wall sweep that's set up in the type/structure properties to follow a wall if that walls profile has changed.  For example, in the image below, I've split the wall and adjusted it's profile to create some cheesy angled parapet.  How do i get my wall cap to follow along?  I thought splitting it and changing it's height would work, but no.  And if I change the profile without splitting the wall the wall cap just runs right through the wall, as if the profiel was never even changed.

Revit :: Bulkhead Wall Join Skews Bottom Of Existing Wall

Jul 25, 2013

I have to draw a bulkhead wall that connects to a full height wall and a gyp bd ceiling.  This causes the entire end of the full height wall to skew in line with the butt joint above the ceiling level.  I tried Wall Joins but all the options screw up the bottom half of the wall which needs to remain in line with the paired opposite.  I also tried editing the sketch of the wall profile but Revit couldn't keep the elements joined.  I tried trimming the two walls back together afterwards but the wall profile dominates and prevents a clean join above the ceiling.
 
Surely there's a way to have different kinds of joins at different heights?

Revit :: Arched Hole In Wall And Wall Height

Apr 16, 2013

I am trying to make a floorplan of my house in Revit 2013, but I am having an issue when it comes to one wall in my house. I have an opening in the Master Bedroom that leads to the bathroom. This wall has a weird arched-like opening in it and I have no clue how to make this in Revit. I have attached a sketch.
 
Also, my exterior walls are 7' tall but the interior walls start at 7' and go up to 8' once in the middle of the house and reduce back to 7". How does one set that up in Revit?
 
EDIT: May have made the image too small to see, but the top is not arched, it is actually half of a decagon.

Revit :: Adding Wall Sweeps To Wall Profile?

Jul 29, 2011

I have a question about wall profiles. I want to make a profile on a wall so I can make Zinc Panels on the wall that are 10" X 20". I've attached a picture of what I'm going for. I'd like it to have a 1/2" spacing between them and with a joint depth of 1" and I'd like to do this is the wall type so that I can use this wall in multiple places rather than having it model-in-place. Anyway I have made a profile that is 1" X 10" so that it can become my panel  profile. But when I go to add it to the wall as a wall sweep as I have seen people do I get hung up on how to make it tile up the wall and also I don't understand how to make the profile so that it is 20" wide. I have a screen shot of where I'm editing this too. Below is the link of the site.

Photoshop :: Crop - Keep Dimensions But No Resize

Jan 3, 2008

I want to use the crop tool to edit my image - I want the crop tool to maintain the image dimensions (i.e. 4x6), BUT I don't want the image to be resampled. All I see with the crop tool is that if I want the size to be constrained, it makes me pick a specific size, not an aspect ratio.

For example, if I say 4 inches by 6 inches and crop a very small section of my image, it will crop it, but then resample it and blow it up to a 4 inch by 6 inch photo. I really just want the ratio to be maintained. 4x6.

Lightroom :: How To Resize A Photo To Actual Dimensions

Jun 21, 2012

I am creating a photo book using LR 4.1 and BookSmart (so that I can design my own layouts which I can't do in the LR Book module). Everything is working fine except for resizing to fit BookSmart photo containers. In LR it appears that I can only resize to an aspect ratio and not to the actual pixels. For example, I have a custom size of 5.7 x 4, which LR crops to the aspect but retains a high pixel count (4798 x 3367 for example). The optimal size for the BookSmart container is 1710 x 1200 pixels. My understanding is the BookSmart downsamples the image to fit the pixel dimensions of its container. I have read that for best results you should have your photos in the optimal size to begin with, which avoids the downsampling. In LR I can't see any other way of doing this except in the Print module, which does not connect back to my collection in Publish Services. I am hoping to avoid having to edit each photo (over 400) in Photoshop just so that the size (dimensions and pixels) is optimal for the BookSmart photo containers. Am I missing something in LR that would allow me to set the size correctly for BookSmart?

Revit :: Why Can't See Wall Sconces

Dec 12, 2013

Short story is I made a wall sconce from scratch but I can't see the symbolic lines in my ceiling plan in the project.
 
I needed a linear wall sconce for a client presentation based on one of theirs already installed.  The manufacturer doesn't provide BIM for this model so I had make my own.  I haven't bothered with photometrics.  At this point all I need is a placeholder for the ceiling plan and a 3D model for a hidden line view. I used the wall based light fixture family.  There was a plane elevation but no apparent parameter so created one and called it 'mounting height'.  After about ten minutes of modeling (and over an hour of tedious aligning, dimensioning and locking of the sketches to keep the model from distorting with changes in wall thickness) I opened the ceiling reference level plan and drew some symbolic lines to represent the fixture on the ceiling plan in my project.
 
Here's what happened.
 
The symbolic lines for the CPRL (Ceiling plan in the family editor) are also visible in the FPRL.  I don't know why this is and there doesn't appear to be a way to hide them in just one plan.  I suspect it's because both are at the same height (the reference level.)  I tried changing the working plane before drawing the symbol lines to another plane above the reference level and out of its view range but it had no effect.  I can still see them in the floor plan.When I loaded it into the project nothing appeared and I got the message about 'no elements are visible because yada yada'.  The symbolic lines didn't show up at all.  I checked the detail level and that wasn't it.  As far as I can tell the view range for the CPRL and the RCP in my project are the same.  They don't show up in the project floor plan either.  The sconce is visible in 3D views so it's definitely in there.  I tried monkeying with the height of the symbolic lines like I stated in part 1. but it had no effect on there visibility.  Symbol lines are visible in other families so it can't be an issue with visibility overides.In my project I noticed there's a parameter for the fixture called 'Elevation'.  Changing it moved the fixture up and down on the wall.  Changing the 'mounting height' parameter in the project had no effect!  This parameter worked fine in the family editor.  Playing with the 'Elevation' parameter and the cut plane elevation brought the symbolic lines into view.  Apparently the symbolic lines are only visible when the cut line is passing through the sconce.  Unfortunately my sconce needs to be mounted at 6 ft and my cut plane is at 7'2 to avoid cutting doors and windows.   How do get these symbolic lines to display?

Revit :: Can't Create Wall By Face

Mar 26, 2013

This is the Mass: [URL]
  
Everytime I try to create a wall by face of one exactly face, it accept Location Line: By Finish Face Interior only, when I try to change ANY other Location Line, it gives me a message error.

And it is always from the SAME FACE highlighted at the picture.
 
The mass was made by the floors and top edges. I select all of the edges and create a mass from down to top.
 
All the other faces are ok and they accept the wall by face and let them change the Location Line except this one.

I am very new to Revit and am using a student version, I'm nt sure if that changes things.
