View 3 Replies'm trying to create a new sheet , currently using design options, the create new sheet option is grayed out.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have four floor plans of varying differences on the same level that have been set up in different views, and organized by 'Design Options'. It would be very beneficial to be able to overlay these plans (eg. to see the differences, to make relative manipulations) as one can with the 'Underlay' feature can with different levels.
I have thought about placing the views on the same sheet and then activating the view I want to revise, but there is transparency complications . Suggest an alternative for a Design Option Underlay ability?
/still holding out for the ability to organize the listing of 'Design Options'
I have a tenant improvement project: two side by side medical offices. The owners want to run a joined practice and are building it together, so I'm preparing one set of construction drawings. However for a permit drawings I have to prepare 2 sets of drawings with each office separately-what's the best way of doing it? Also how should I handle sheets?-should I create 2 series: permit and CD? I'm not sure how to do it.

I work for a large home builder and we will have multiple elevations for each floor plan. The elevations are usually labeled A, B, C, D etc. If an elevation changes labels, say elevation D becomes elevation B, the order will now be A, D, C, B; they cant be reordered into alphabetical order. Which can become confusing. Make sense? Attached is an example of a basic Design Option from one of my houses. In a typical house we can have 50-60 design options, that can change names over years, and they need to remain in an easily read and sourced order.
I am using Revit Architecture 2013 and I have a few different design options for the mian level of a house I am working on. I have the North wall of the house in a design option for the living room at the moment. But I have decided I no longer want that wall in the my living room option, I would like to move it to my kitchen design option so I am able to move a window that is located on that wall. I cannot seem to find a way to move a wall from one design option to another or have it in both if it is already part of a design option. How I can get this wall and the windows located on it into my kitchen design layout without having things being double counted in the schedules?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have several architectural models linked into my central file on a project. For this project, there is an addition to the building that is a design option. When I look at the linked files, though, I can only see the existing construction. I also know how to copy/monitor levels, but I want to view the architect's room elevations in my model. How can I copy the architect's design options and specific views into my model?

View 4 Replies View RelatedThese are three separate question :
1. When I link A revit model (having different worksets) into B revit model, We can control the worksets visibility at the time of linking. We can select any workset to be switched off and it will not be visibility in any view. Can we controll it after linking and on the basis of views, i.e. Can we switch off any single worksets of a link file in a particular view. My understanding is that We can't control worksets of a link file in our main revit model.
2. If A.rvt contains deisgn options. can we link those design options to design options in B.rvt, Can we set the visibility of a view in B.rvt to see desired design option from A.rvt. My understanding is that revit link does not contains design options information.
3. Similar rules applies with Phases. We can't link phases from A.rvt with phases in B.rvt, Also can not controll the visibility of phases of a linked revit model.Seeks experts comments to confirm my belief. What are the nearest possible work around for these issues.
Baffing issue for us:
We have a "core & shell" model linked into a "fit-out" model. We are working with design options in the "fit-out" model with different design options.
1. In a 3D axo view and working in the main model, we can see the linked "core & shell" file.
2. In the same 3D axo view and working in the primary design option, we can see the linked "core & shell" file.
3. In the same 3D axo view and working in any of the other design option, we CANNOT see the linked "core & shell" file.
The visibility & graphics settings have not been changed. The worksets settings have not been changed. We have been unable to overcome this issue. We are simply flippiing between different design options and the linked model disappears.
I can only create project with SD frame sizes. 720p or 1080p is not offered in the Project details setup.
Also when I want to capture from a 720p webcam I can only select "DVD" in the dropdown list for the capture proifle. Why are all the HD features missing

I am using Revit Architecture 2013 and am trying to create a window family that has different grid options built into the family. I have included a copy of one of my window families I am working on and an image for an examples of what happens when I load all my windows into a project and place them. Some of the grid families do not automatically adjust to the size it should be. But if I click on the window (lets say it as no grids) and then select the no grid parameter again then it will adjust. How I can get these windows to adjust automatically so I don't need to do an extra step to make them look right!?

Rivet stops working and shuts down after I try and load "sand" into the material column. The same thing happens when I tried to load "gravel". Interestingly enough, "Earth" can be loaded with no problems.
Is possible create a URL project parameter associated for revision clouds?
I want to make a hyperlink into a revison cloud for a DOC file, but I not found the Revision Cloud category in Project Parameters/Parameter Properties dialog.
I search for this solution because I don't know the limit size of the parameter Comments. I wish add many comments on the project and these can have texts and images, so I choosed put comments in a DOC file.
I have a Revit file with over 1,000 materials and associated appearance assets. It was created in a previous version of Revit before library support. What I want to do is create libraries from them. However, the only instructions to add them one at a time using dragging and dropping. That will take me days to do. Is there a way to simply create an asset or material library out of multiple materials from a project file at one time without having to individually select them?

I've built a project up with several smaller project file components. It's an easier way to create a video than editing one big project.
Opening the overall project and running it on screen is not a problem. However, when I try to create a smart package of the composite project, I get a consistent error message rejecting the process because of the existence of the component vsp's.
Is there a way to avoid the error and create a smart package from a project file that has smaller component project files?

Is there a good one-stop place to get info on import export options from / to softwares included in Autodesk Building Design Suite Ultimate?
I've been looking for a site / tutorial that outlines a detailed workflow for exporting a model from Revit and into 3ds Max for rendering and animation.
I'm particularly interested in how best to set a model up in revit to make this process less painful - particularly around material assignments, mapping etc. so that I can switch from the multi-material (using material IDs) setup that comes into Max over to the Architectural & Design materials.
Is it my inexperience with the product or is Revit Architecture far less competent for designing residential architecture than it is for commercial? I'm trying to design a large home and face workaround after workaround - many of which defeat the BIM materials inventory database I'd like to develop for quoteing the job. I understand that a Wood Framing Extension is available, but I'm still a student learning the software and the application is a subscription item and a high cost.
