Revit :: Visibility Of Lines Placed In Front Of Filled Region?

Nov 20, 2013

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.

Jan 23, 2012

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.

Revit :: Filled Region Will Not Work LT 2014?

Sep 5, 2013

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.

Revit :: Transparent Filled Region Obscuring Objects

Nov 14, 2012

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 .

Revit :: Only One Filled Region Type Allowed In Detail View

Jan 28, 2014

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

Revit :: Transparent Filled Region Not Showing Up Transparent?

Nov 24, 2008

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.

Revit :: Detail Lines And Filled Regions Move In Exterior Elevation View?

Sep 5, 2012

What would cause lines to move left/right some seemingly random distance in an elevation view?  Rarely, I run into an issue where detail lines and filled regions added to an elevation view (not text, or leaders) will move some random distance, I've attached a PDF showing the issue.  No other elevations, plans, or sections have anything wrong with them.  The model has not moved to a different position.

Illustrator :: Live Paint Objects Filled With Transparent Lines?

Apr 14, 2013

So I've been messing with Live paint, and I've noticed that where paths overlap or abut, or even if a path was expanded to a fill, a transparent line is there. They are not always noticeable in Illustrator, but when I bring the documents into Photoshop, they're blatantly obvious!
 
This is a section of my linework before making a Live Paint:

Now this is what comes up when I make the live paint:

When I bring it into PS, it becomes a lot more obvious:

Is there anything that I can do about this? After more than an hour of chatting with a Tech support person, we determined that turning off anti-aliasing when I open the docuement in PS will fix this, but then all the lines are jagged, so that's not a viable fix. I know I can fill these gaps in in Photoshop, but I don't think that I should have to do that, and also, with complex artwork, this isn't exactly a viable option... Am I working too small?

Dec 16, 2012

Version: CS6
OS: Microsoft (Windows 7)
 
I brought a pdf into Illustrator and I want to draw a line over a portion of that pdf, but when I draw the line it appears to place it behind the pdf - obscuring portions of the line. I have tried selecting the new line and bringing it to the front or selecting the pdf and sending it to the back without any success.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Divide Big Region On Lines Intersections

Oct 1, 2013

I need to divide a big region on lines intersections. imagine that you create a region around a chess table and break the region so you get each square as a new region.

I can't use array because the sub-regions aren't regular. I need this divided regions to export a DXF file to a Finite elements program.

Revit :: Crop Region And Text

Jan 17, 2007

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.

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?

Revit :: Non-Rectangular Crop Region

Dec 6, 2013

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.

Illustrator :: How To Use Minus-front On Multiple Lines Or Objects

Jan 6, 2014

What i'm trying to do is cut multiple circles in half (45° angle), i know that i need first "outline stroke" to make the circle lines into object (i think it's called). I have used "offset path" to get more of these lines.
 
I was told that if i want to cut the other half of the circle i need to use pathfinder, but everytime i use the "minus front" option, it leaves me with only on half circle while i mad 2 circles, the second circle disapppeard. How can i cut both circles in one go. (is there a way to combine these circles (not grouping))

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.

Revit :: Controlling The Color Of A Field Region

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Divide Big Region On Lines Intersections

Oct 2, 2013

I need a easy way to create a lot of small regions, or divide a big region in lines intersections, or a fast way to pick points inside objects.

Its like that:

imagine that you do 100 horizontal lines and then 100 vertical lines.  Now you have 10.000 squares. i need a fast way to make a region in each one of then.

So its too much trouble to pick points inside each one of then. i need to divide a big region or a fast way to create Plines or objects with the little squares. And i cant use array because they aren t regular squares.

Its something that i do often, its not a one time thing. This is necessary in structure analysis modeling, i export this dwg to a dxf file, that i use on a finite element program.

i never did a lisp before.

Revit :: Bring To Front Dimensions?

Nov 16, 2012

I am having a problem with dimensions and making them opaque. I want to use "Bring to Front" to solve it, but Revit does not give me this option.
 
To detail out my problem: I have a dim style style setup to make dimesion text mask out objects behind it. The problem we are having is that if I draw one dimension, then draw a second dimenion that is over top of the first dim's text the second's extension line is not hidden behind the text. If I delete the first text and redraw it, it will then hide the second dim's extension line. The proper solution is to use "Bring to Front" to fix it. But Revit is not giving me this option. I am using 2011 right now. Has this been fixed in newer versions of Revit, or did the programmers never figure we would need to do that?
