Revit :: Set Lineweights For Generic Models Imported From Autocad?

Jun 8, 2012

I have an MEP dwg with 3d geometry that I would like to take a lineweighted section through.
 
I successfully made the section by importing the cad file into a generic mass, but I cant seem to get the lineweights to show up.
 
I've tried setting overrides and object styles for generic models, but it doesnt register the cut line, only the projection line style.
 
I also tried importing as an IFC, which also converts the file to generic models, but no dice.

3ds Max :: Separating Objects From Imported Models?

Nov 14, 2012

(3ds max 2012, mental ray rendering) I would like to know how to separate objects from an imported model. For example, I have imported a bed with side tables, pillows, throw rug, etc- when it is imported into my scene all items are grouped together, so one click, anywhere, selects all items. I have used the Edit mesh function to delete the items I don't need but now I want to isolate each part of the model and apply different material finishes. When I hold the curser over each item they seemed to be named separately, as 'objects'. How do I detach these items from the imported model?

Photoshop :: How To Stop CS6 From Unwelding Imported 3D Models

Jan 24, 2013

Photoshop has an issue right now in which when I import a 3d object (it doesn't matter which format, I've tried obj and cae) then it will split the object apart into multiple objects along where the borders of the uv map are (aka polyunweld). How do I stop it from doing that?

Here are images demonstrating what I mean exactly.

Revit :: Delete Imported DWG Category From Imported Objects

Nov 3, 2011

I have a dwg that someone imported and I cannot find where this object is. I have tried searching the database with DBLink, Ideate BIMLink and I have gone into every view to no avail. I also used the reviTTools add-in which says there are no drawings in the file. Am I dealing with a corrupted file? I am super OCD and this is in our Template which makes it an even bigger problem.

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Imported Polylines Will Not Change To Layer Style Line Types

May 14, 2012

When I import shape files the polylines will not take the layer style I move them to. They stay a continuous linetype. Linetype and Lineweight is set to ByLayer. Only difference between the new lines and the lines drawing correctly is the lines that stay continuous are 3D polylines and the correct ones are normal polylines. What I need to do to make the imported lines accept my layer linetypes?

Revit :: Create Simple 8x2 Extrusion

Jun 25, 2012

I'm trying to create a simple 8x2 extrusion that will represent an aluminum band on a building elevation. The length varies by instance but needs to be reportable in a schedule (preferably using the "Length" shared parameter name.
 
I've never used reporting parameters before but have made an attempt at it in the attached file. The parameter of Length displays the stretched length in the properties box but won't appear in a schedule. The Instance Length parameter will appear in a schedule but doesn't always show the correct value.
 
I'll note that this family was adapted from one already created by someone else and the Length label cannot be deleted. It's as if the file was at one time a template.  However, I've tried it from scratch, too and can't get it to work, sometimes not even being able to get the family to allow stretching the length.

Revit :: Family Category To Create Extrusion

Jul 25, 2013

Is there a Family Category that allows me to create an Extrusion that will then work with the “Attach Top/Base” tool?
 
For example, instead of using a structural column, I would instead like to use a Model In-Place Extrusion, then be able to attach these columns to my roof.
 
I’m noticing you don’t get the option to “Attach Top/Base” when you use a Model In-Place Extrusion.

Revit :: How To Create Circular Desk Without Void Extrusion

Jun 30, 2012

I created a reception desk in Revit 2013 using solid extrusions and void extrusions and it looks really good. The problem is I need to recreate this thing using some other method since I cannot place door and drawer faces on a plane that technically, geometrically does not exist, ie the area a receptionist would sit. The rendering of my extruded desk is attached.

Revit :: How To Export Models To NWC For Use In Navisworks

Aug 4, 2012

I am trying to export some Revit models to .nwc for use in navisworks.
 
I have been getting some odd errors, sometimes I get them, sometimes I don't. Sometimes I will get the error, close the program, re-open, and it will export fine. Other times I try that and still get the same error with no luck.
 
I need to get these into .NWC files, and doing it from Revit holds more infomation than trying to import them in Navisworks.
 
Attached is a picture of the error message Revit is giving me...

Revit :: Link Models Together On Blank Model

Jun 11, 2013

We are new to Revit, and have done a couple of projects in Revit. We have separate models for arch, mech and elect (no struct, this is done outside our office). We currently link models to each other as needed, the architect will link mech and elec.  The mech eng. will link arch and elec and so on. Mention the use of a blank model onto which you link all models. I never got a chance to ask the individual how they use it or how it would benefit the process.

Revit :: Display Views On Converted Models?

Sep 30, 2013

We just upgraded to Revit 2014. We had several Revit 2013 models we converted. We are now experience some visual issues within Revit. Specifically, on our Exterior Elevation views, though we are using Hiden Line display, we are seeing some "wireframe" lines, like the double line where the roof is cut, we are seeing our floor betwen levels, etc. I was wondering if it was a Service Pack issue. Issue 1 has been released. I tried to install the patch, and received an error that the product is not installed. I have also downloaded the latest certified video driver, but have not installed that till I tried to get the patch updated.

Revit :: Combining (2) RVT Project Models Into (1) IFC File

Nov 4, 2013

I need to be able to combine two revit project models into one .IFC export per floor. Initially I was able to accomplish this by binding the linked subcontractor’s model into my project model and then exporting each floor as an individual .IFC file.  Within the past couple of weeks my sub-contractor has nested face based families into some of the more compex casework families.  These new families are throwing up errors during the binding process that result in the content being deleted.  Ultimately looking for understanding these warnings and how to resolve them so that I can continue with the work flow that was initially in place. How to streamline this process in the long run.  I started looking into plug-ins or supplemental software that might enable me to merge .IFC’s generated from two different sources.  I haven’t had much success.

Revit :: Missing Elements In Linked Models?

Dec 6, 2012

We have a structural model linked into our building model for a project with about 10 people working on it.  Periodically, some users cannot see all of the elements in the linked structural model.  We have tried/checked the following:
 
Checking Visibility/Graphics (Worksets, Links, Categories)
Checking Reveal Hidden
Opening/Closing Worksets
Unloading and reloading the Links
Opening different Views to find the Elements
 
We are unable to resolve the problems through the methods above.  Oddly, when a different user opens the view the elements are displayed.  Or, if we override via Visibility/Graphics to the linked model settings the elements are displayed.  In this second sceanario the only way to control the graphics is by changing them in the linked model.
 
Nethier workaround is efficient or productive.

Revit :: Generic Models Schedules To Get Length Of Object

Jul 11, 2013

I am using Revit 2013 and I am wondering if there is any easy way of getting my generic model schedules to get the length of the object without having to manually type it in?!
 
I have attached 2 images to explain what I am talking about. I have created my own countertops and decided for scheduling purposes it would work best to have them as generic models.  As you can see from the "Counter Top Properties" image that it has the length of my countertop in the program, but as the "Counter top Schedule" Images shows I can not choose "Length" as an available field. I had to create a parameter for the length ("Length of Unit"), which is just a dimension parameter, and I have to type in manually what the length is.  Is there a way to get my schedule to get that length dimension automatically without having to manually type it in!?

Revit :: Linked Models Are Not Displayed In Design Options

Jun 21, 2012

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.

Revit :: Possible To Create Sheet List From Linked Models?

We have a project where we have the model separated by discipline, arch, struct, mech and Elec. As I work on the arch model, I have all other models linked, each has generated its sheets.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Developing Casting Models Into Machining Models

Oct 6, 2011

We are looking for a workflow example of developing casting models into machining models.

Typically our castings are made from different materials (Fig-1) and then machining (Fig-2) are created from these castings.

Is creating the casting as an iPart (with different materials) and then deriving the machining from the casting the proper method?

Doing it this way seems to force us into making a machining for each casting material instead of just one machining that is an iPart. How should this be set-up for BOM purposes and for use with Vault (Base Version)?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Converting Polylines With Width And Text Into Close Polylines

Jan 2, 2014

As the above mentioned, I have a drawing drawn using polylines with width from someone. The width of the line are suppose to represent area,

To put things into prospective, here is an example:

The polyline is 10 unit long and with a width of 2 unit wide. If i explode that polyline, it will become a single polyline without width. The line are suppose to represent 10 unit long and 2 unit wide; representing an area.

My question is is there a way to change the line above directly from polyline with width to a close polyline (4 x polylines) of 10 unit long and 2 unit wide.

Revit :: How To Dimension Imported 3D File

Jun 26, 2013

 I'm designing a piece of furniture in Rhino using Grasshopper.  I would like to create my measured drawings of this piece in Revit (as a way of learning the software).  I have linked the 5 components of the piece to my Revit project file (as SAT files but I could export them as something else if that would work).  All I want to do is create a single sheet showing 1 plan view, 2 elevations, 1 section and an exploded axon.  However, I cannot seem to dimension the components.  I need overall dimensions as well as the size of radii at curved corners in elevation and filleted corners in plan, and also thickness of the material used.
 
Is there something I need to do to get the dimensions to 'see' this set of objects?

3ds Max :: How To Break Up Objects Imported From Revit

May 18, 2013

I'm importing my Revit file and when I try to select only the roof to apply materials it gives me a selection of "Wood-Sheathing-particlboard/osb" which includes the second floor sheathing and other things I don't want in my selection.

I thought I could add an edit poly modifier and select the individual roof polygons and apply materials to them but when I "Apply materials to selected objects" it applies to all of the wood sheathing,... selection.

How do I break these apart and re-name them?

Revit :: Not Cutting Through Imported DWG 3D Model?

Mar 13, 2012

How I can successfully import a 3d .dwg model into Revit so I can cut through it in plan and section?  I built the model in sketchup, exported it as a .dwg, then impoorted this .dwg into a new Revit family.  I then loaded this family into the revit file I'm working in. Its cuts through the model on basement and ground floor plans but not on 2nd or attic.  For the 2nd or attic it just shows me the roof of my model.
