Revit :: 3D View Showing Floor Outline On Exterior Walls?

Jan 29, 2014

I am creating a two-storey single-family house.  The exterior wall assembly is Core Boundary, 3/8" Stucco (we apply a Stucco material to our Sheathing so in Section we aren't showing a finish material on the exterior), 5 1/2" <By Category> (our studs), Core Boundary, Air Barrier, 1/2" Gypsum Wall Board.  We draw the floor system to the face of our studs and extend our walls to the bottom of the floor system, then when we join geometry the floor cuts out the wall leaving only the wall sheathing extending to the face of our floor system.
 
My problem is when I create a 3D perspective view with the camera my floor system is showing through the walls.  It seems to thin out/disappear the larger the perspective view is on the page, but I can only make it so big on C-size page.
 
Is there a way to hide what Revit shows detailed behind the face of a material?(I tried hiding the floor system in my perspective view but it stills shows the floor outline, I'm assuming because it is being cut out of the assembly).

Revit :: Change Thickness Or Move Walls In Project

Oct 29, 2013

When I try and change the thickness or move most walls in the project I get multiple room volume warnings that pop up, in some cases 80 odd. These rooms in question can be on the opposite side of the building (60 Meters) and 3 or 4 stories up from the altered wall. So there is no way that all room volumes are overlapping. I've checked all the room volume heights, level placements and that rooms are all bound fine, which they are. I just can't figure it out. 

I've figured out a work around but this can be a little time consuming and a little bit fiddly. Ideally I'd like Revit functioning properly and not have to keep reminding my team about the correct way to approach a wall change every time 80 new warnings pop up.

I have heard through the grapevine that this may be a bug that occurs in 2012 due to "internal disputes" we are unable to upgrade to later versions of Revit.

Revit :: Exterior Wall With Exposed Floor

Nov 12, 2011

I am currently modeling a 2-Story Home. I have everything modeled the way I want it, but when I go to the elevations I see a gap where the siding and the sheathing don't touch between floors.
 
My exterior walls:

Core: 3 1/2" stud + 1/2" SheathingExterior: Air Barrier + 3/4" SidingInterior: 1/2" Gyp BdMy floors: Main:
Core: 3/4" Sub-Floor + 11 7/8" TJI + 1 1/2" Rim-JoistMy Floors: SecondCore: 3/4" Sub-Floor + 11 7/8" TJI

The floors are modeled to the stud to allow sheathing and siding to extend. I knew of this situation beforehand because tutorials on the interwebs say this is the way to combat your problem:

I go into the my exterior wall, select edit type, edit structure, (set preview to section) select siding, and then zoom in on the bottom of the wall in the section preview. The bottom of the siding highlights and a "unlock" toggle appears. I unlock it. I do the same to the sheathing. Then I go to my elevations, cut a section, and zoom in to extend the sheathing and siding.
 
Side Bar: Why don't the two extend independently? They should. 
 
To the top of wall below.

Revit :: Corner Trim On Exterior Wall?

Apr 5, 2013

Part of the design for vinyl siding includes corner trim pieces, it's a standard application. We would like to show that in our models, how to creat a vertical sweep. Is there any way to add a small piece like this in a wall type? It must extend the full height of the wall, and appear only at the corners.
 
Also, in many of our models, we employ a dutch gable roof style on the front with a wood shingle facade. On the top of the shingles are vertical metal battens spaced evenly from top to bottom. I am wondering/ hoping if there might be a way to add this feature (battens) to a wall type.

Revit :: Creating Folding Door Model - Exterior Wall Offset Family

Nov 29, 2011

I am creating a folding door model and would like to use a parameter called EXERIOR WALL OFFSET. I have used this parameter before but am having trouble getting it to work within my family. The only difference is that I created one frame/jamb instead of 4 seperate profiles. The question is, why can't i get the jamb to move within the wall using the exterior wall offset parameter? It seems to move the sash/panels just fine but the jamb is constrainted somehow.

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.

Revit :: How To Use Host Wall Thickness In Formula

Dec 27, 2013

I'm trying to use a formula in a family that requires the host wall thickness.
 
I've setup an instance reporting parameter (dimensioned to the host wall faces) - which works fine in reporting the correct value.
 
But when I try to use that variable in a formula, I keep getting the error:
 
"Instance Parameters can't be used in Type Parameter formulas."
 
Is there a way of getting the reported dimension as a Type rather than an Instance - or is there another work around ?

Revit :: Why Side View Represents The Thickness Of The Members

Feb 22, 2013

why the side view (Heavy Timber-Side.rfa) represents the thickness of the members rather than the face dimension?  For example: A 2x10 (which isn't really heavy timber anyway) is shown 1-1/2" thick rather than 9-1/4" when the side view family is used to draw items. 
 
Wish the family names had been a little more logical (i.e. Heavy Timber-Thickness.rfa  and Heavy Timber-Face.rfa)
 
Seems like these families should at least coordinate with the section view so the top view was thin and the side view was wider.

Revit :: Can't Cut Walls With Voids

They must be deleted, or solid geometry added and cut." They clearly intersect, what am I doing wrong?
