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 :: Building Elevation Variable Depth Option

Aug 17, 2011

I have a highrise that steps inward in various areas. Since I model structural concrete, there are no window walls stopping my depth of view.
 
Is there an option where I can vary my depth in areas? I don't want to create more views. An option is to halftone the areas that are set and hide walls that are way in the interior, but this is very time consuming. In addition, if I halftone a slab, the slab portions that are not inset turn halftone too, then I have to fix the linework.

Photoshop :: Does Shortening The Depth Of Field Increase Or Reduce The Visual Impact Of A Rendering

Oct 27, 2012

Photoshop's 3D rendering offers us the ability to create imagery that's virtually perfect. It even allows us to specify the depth of field, from infinite, to reasonably short.
 
My question to you is this:  Does shortening the depth of field increase or reduce the visual impact of a rendering? I offer these examples for you to judge: 
 
I can't quite decide which I like better.  The one that's sharp edge-to-edge seems a bit more like eye candy, but the one with the short DOF seems maybe more realistic.  On the other hand, blurring things always feels a bit like hiding imperfection, when in this case it's hiding perfection.

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.

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.

A coworker believes an elevation tag can be placed in plan view A, but can be moved in plan view B without relocating it in plan view A.  My experience...move an elevation tag in one view and it will be relocated in all views.  Is there a way to have two different locations but reference the same elevation?

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 :: 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 :: Spot Elevation Finding Perimeter Only?

Apr 30, 2013

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 :: 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 :: Glass Transparency In Elevation Views

Mar 24, 2011

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.

Revit :: Elevation Default View Height?

Ive got a problem with creating elevations. When I create an elevation on my floor plan - in this instance level 5 of my 30 storey building I open up the elevation and see the attached view. Its crop region is only 3mm high and therefore only shows me the floor of level 5 instead of the whole elevation of level 5 to the underside of the level 6 slab.

My concern is regarding a louvre family i am placing on walls in a multi-storey commercial project. They are viewable in 3d mode and Floor plan view but when i switch to elevation, all i get are holes in the walls where the louvre should be sitting.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Label Contour (2D Plines) From Elevation

Nov 21, 2013

Of course with ACAD MAP (FDO Labels for example) or better with ACAD CIVIL : no problem !

But often I have to use a Standard AutoCAD ...

A lots of people have already asked for this routine :

But I search in this forums and some others and unfortunately I can't find any correct routine Full operational on ACAD 201X 32/64 bits

I have many 2D Plines with an Elevation : some Normal , some have been splined --> 1st problem

I would like to label them with :

- either a Block with ONE attribut : the elevation

- either a MText with a blank Mask behind

As you wish ...

Question : Size/Height of the Block or MText ?

Some 2D Plines are very long (2nd problem) so I would like a question like :

Label each Pline every xxxx Units ?

So on a Pline Contour of 2000 meters, I could have the elevation (Block or MText) every 50 meters ...

Of course I would like that the Block or Mtext will have to follow (rotation) the Pline (splined or not) where the label is inserted !

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Get Point On Entity But Ignore Ones At 0.0 Elevation

Sep 15, 2011

I need to let the user pick on an entity to get an elevation.

I was using getpoint, with osmode set to nearest, but it allows them to pick 2d items under the 3d items I want picked.

Without doing fancy laer manipulation to turn off 2d stuff, are there any tricks to avoid snapping on the 2d item?

I am thinking I might do an entselp, then try again at same point until i get a 3d one (non 0.0 z coord).
