View 1 RepliesI have made my sections cuts through the floor plans, but when I view them, the walls I have cut through are not poched in to show that there is a solid wall there.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI received a Revit file from a client. What may have been purged from the file. When I try to cut a section, I am presented with the choice of a Building Section or a Detail Section. The Wall Section is not available.
How do I get access to the wall sections? These are available as families which could be reinstalled.
I know I can probably overdraft this in 2-D; but is there a way to clean this up?I'd like to stop the inside finish surface of the roof element, inside the building (horizontal pine boards).I tried the similar trick like a wall base extension; didn't seem to work. (?)I'd like to have the rafter to top-plate seat cut out of the rafter also.

I am in a section view where i want to show a repeated cmu detail component up the wall as part of a detail, but then the hatch pattern is displayed behind it. I don't want to remove the hatch pattern entirely because I still want it to be displayed in the plan view.
What I am trying to do is to model a roof using Revit Lt so that the roof tiling and battens carry on over the gable wall. Is it possible to add a void profile to the roof slab in order to achieve this or do I need to model a small section of roof to just cover the wall portion?

Is this possible or something very close? Let me know what are the best ways to do this.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAny 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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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?

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.
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.

i prefer to have it default in this window or wall style rather than playing around with anchors and other ,,reposition tools'' for each and single window in my basement plan.

View 8 Replies View Relatedit is possible to use the Align command on an adaptive point (once inserted in the model). It seems that when I try to align an adaptive point to something, it moves the entire family. However, when I attach dimensions to each point, the points move independent of their context.

If I have several sheets of several floors, and I want the views in each sheet to be positioned at exactly the same position. How do I best accomplish that?
You can use the "Guide Grid" to place the views on a sheet. Then you can align the view (using the grid lines) to this guide grid. In the other sheets, you can use again the same guide grid, just select the guide grid name in the properties of the sheet.
Additional information about guide grid is available in the Revit help, search for "Aligning views on a sheet" or "Guide Grid".

View 3 Replies View RelatedShort 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?
