Revit :: Walls Jump When Selected In Secondary Monitor?
Sep 12, 2012
Windows 7 64. New Sager, Nvidia 675--up to date everything. Revit 2013 fresh download, very little else on new computer. All drivers and bios up to date.
Samsung monitor, same resolution on both main and secondary monitor.
I've heard of many who have had this issue particularly in the secondary monitor. Not sure what to do.
Essentially, wall jumps 3 to 5 feet when I click on it after it has been drawn. I don't seem to have the same issue if I run revit from the main monitor..
Have the same issue whether i run Revit from the Intel or Nvidia High Performance mode.
What Revit 2012 setting makes walls and floors disappear when rendering is selected?
I have a Revit 8.1 project that renderes the model just fine. When I import it into Revit 2010 it also remders the model but I have to reassign the custom finishes. But when I upgrade it to 2012 and render - the walls and floors are suddenly missing!
secondary monitor displays with colorshift in LR4.1rc2. this is on windows 7/64. Both my monitors i have are calibrated with spyder3, one is hardwarecalibrated eizo CG243, the other a HP2475 calibrated with spyder4 elite software. Colorshift shows same characteristics when i switch LR app window with secondary window. IT looks as if sRGB profile is applied to the secondary preview, because of the strong/overly saturated colors.
It seems to me a softwarebug, which makes secondary display inusable.
Has Lightroom 4 addressed the problem of choosing which monitor to show your secondary display? I know this was a requested feature on LR3. How do you set it?
The bottom of the Layers Panel is hidden when my secondary monitor is on. I opened Systems Preferences > Display and adjusted scanning slider but I still can't make the PS screen smaller. What else can I do?
When I have a Primary and Secondary set on the timeline my boradcast monitor only displays the secondary unless I hav ethe big viewer up. I'd like to lock the output to the monitor to always be the primary output track regardless of player status.
I want to turn my in-place mass walls (sloped or helical) to structural walls but i don't know how to do it. I'm able to do the walls but when i switch it to the analytical view the wall doesn't appear because it's not structural. It's there a way to do in-place mass structural walls.
I'm at my wits end trying to cut a wall with a void. I want to chamfer the corners of a wall, but I can't get even a basic void to cut from a wall. I get the error : "This Mass has no solid geometry for its Void Forms to cut. They must be deleted, or solid geometry added and cut." They clearly intersect, what am I doing wrong?
I am currently doing an MEP project and I am tidying up the model at present. I am having problems attaching the walls to the roofs. There could be a simple solution but I haven't found it yet !
I have tried attaching top base etc. but its not working. I only seem to be able to select one side of the roof when selecting where to attach the walls. I have attached 3d pics showing the walls that are extruding & also one of the walls that I am trying to attach.
I drew some internal walls before adding a floor slab. After adding the floor slab the walls disappeared in plan. I can see them in 3D, in the correct place, but not in plan.
The floor slab is in the right position. To fix the problem I redrew them all, but why did they disappear and how do I prevent it from happening again?
why my existing walls show up fine in my sheet but don't plot to .pdf. I have the view range settings set correctly and all other sheets plot fine.
I thought maybe the roof transparency was the issue but Revit is usually pretty much a WYSIWYG plotting operation and the walls are displaying in the sheet file. Haven't tried plotting to a plotter but it doesn't matter. I need to plot .pdf's.
How to bridge the gap at the intersection of two types of wall. I’m wondering which “function” settings are required such that the intersection between two types of all walls (30 cm and 10cm) produce solid line.
Do I have to use the Stack Walls family in order to have my walls line up on top of each other between the levels? My walls are all slightly off in 3D view and look messy..
In my 3D View my walls disappear when I de-select the structural box. Although drawn as regular walls they are store front panels so carry no load other than their own weight. My Visibility Graphics dialog box seems to have limited options for this. Am I missing something? How do I get them to re-appear in my 3D View for rendering without switching them to a structural wall?
I have one wall (basic wall) where !'ve edited to profile to have a large rectagle omitted. I have a second wall (curtain wall) that needs to occupy that space with a 1/2" gap on either side and a 1" gap along the top. I can maintain the gap along the top, but when the gaps along the sides shrinks below 1", the walls meet and the gap is reduced to zero. I've tried making the internal wall into a group, but whenever the outer wall's profile is edited to within 1/2", And I click the Finish button, the interior wall (inside the group) extends to meet it. Automatically Embed is turned off for the curtain wall. I've tried locked dimensions, but that didn't seem to work.
How I can maintain the gap without the walls closing?
I'm making a pool and i wanted to round the corners to make it seem more real. Is there a way to do a sort of "fillet" on the corners of the walls to make them round?
Need to make a wall with varying height. For example, 3000mm at one end and 4000mm at the other. The result would be a sloped ceiling and roof. Should I make a 'mass' and attach a wall to it or is there a way to vary the height of an existing wall?
I am laying out a simple structure. Bearing wall to bearing wall is 35’, with a few non bearing walls between the bearing walls. I will be using a truss to span from bearing wall to bearing wall. What would be the best work flow for the drywall ceiling material. The ceiling seems to require a core element. I cannot seem to manage drywall alone. If I create a ceiling with 2x4 core and drywall finish and create a ceiling over the whole area the ceiling seems to auto dim to the ceiling finish and not the core 2x4. Then there is the issue of the clean up at the top plate were the wall and ceiling finishes meet
whether it's possible to modify the profile of curved walls. Normally when you select a wall, it should be possible to edit the wall and its profile, though when a wall is curved, the button "edit profile" is gray. Is there any other way to obtain a similar effect, maybe using masses or so?
I am working on a very large Metal Screen that is Approx. 55'-0" H x 240'-0" W.
I need to create the actual punched screen for my Revit Model Renderings and can not use a decal as an option. Each 4'x8' panel will be punched based on a Raster image that I have created an algorithm the convert the image to a Vector Autocad file so the metal fabricator can program the puncher. Every panel is different and thus can not be created and just copied over the entire screen.
The only way I have been able to attempt creating this screen hase been to Edit the profile of a wall. this method though is insanely time comsumming and not really an option, how to select all the lines brought in from cad together and edit. I have only been able to click individual lines...
I am attaching 2 DWG files, one that is off a full size portion of the screen and one that represents one panel (approx. 4' 8').
I am also attaching a RVT file that has the DWG brought in an placed on on elevation of the "wall".
