Revit :: How To Generate Counter Elevations
Feb 10, 2014
I am trying to generate counter elevations from my Revit Model. I am designing a coffee bar area and have developed a Revit family for a "U" shaped counter. In trying to set up my elevation, I notice my elevation views of the inside right or indise left of the "U" shaped counter are blocked by the opposite leg of the counter.
Â
Also, I am trying to generate an elevation of my rear support counter and it seems to be blocked by the bottom of the "U" shaped counter. I have attached a sketch of the plan view of where I have set up my elevation views.

When I am placing a roll-down shutter family in the same wall and same place as a transaction window family that is the same size gives me an error stating the family is not cutting anything and has to be deleted. How do other people do this?

It is almost seeming like you should not try to creat these views in templates to get a jump start on projects. but for the life of me I am not understanding how you can get level lines to appear elevations that have already been create. or in new ones?is there away to successfully get these back?

Several buildings are linked and share coordinates. How can the host file be used as the datum base Finish Floor 0 and all the other buildings relate, even though at different elevations of floor levels? Right now the sections show FF 0 for all of them and they are at different heights.

This and other elevations have lines between new and existing walls/soffits. Â Joining doesn't eliminate the line. Â The existing wall is also in a group.
Â
Is there any way to selectively hide an edge in an elevation?Â

I've been away from Revit for awhile. Isn't there an easier way to edit lines in elevations without creating dozens of masking regions to hide model lines from walls, roofs etc.?I thought in older versions, (I'm currently on 2012), that you could just select lines to make them invisible.

I have a topography model that I've been working with for a while now, and all of a sudden the spot elevation stopped working. I have one spot elevation that works, that i can move around and it'll change to the right plus height. But as soon as i try to make a new one it just says -0.05 no matter where i put it except for if i hover over a stair, then it displays the correct plus height.

I want to create sections and plans showing interior finishes. As walls are all of the same structure I used the split face tool. When applying 'paint' to the face it only gives me the options of materials not fill patterns i.e. hatches. How do I get it to apply hatches or is there a visibility setting that i need to change.

Is there a way to make spot elevations not be sticky?
Â
When I am annotating spot elevations in a site plan on a steep slope with retaining walls, the spot elevations keep snapping to points that I don't want them to. When I get close to a point I want to annotate, the spot will jump to another point that is close, such as the bottom of a retaining wall, and I want to annotate the grade at the top of wall.
Â
Snap Off doesn't work.
Â
Is there a setting buried in Revit that can be changed to control this? My guess it that it's built in and can't be changed...

Background: infrequent user who is in AutoCAD withdrawal but forcing himself to move to Revit.
Â
I've just started a new project. I've imported a survey done in AutoCAD and converted it to a Topo surface.
Â
The surface appears in two of the Elevations (East and North), but not the other two. I have two empty views. I've turned off Crop View. When I did this and a Z A, I was able to find the East and North elevations and move the views over to them. However, I can't find the elevations in the other views.

I downloaded a pocket door from Revitcity.com and noticed that whoever created this family had one of the "controls" that flips the family on the elevations. Â When I am in elevation view my controls are grayed out. Just wondering how to place a flip symbol on the elevations?! I would love to be able to switch the swing of a window or door on the elevations!!

Is there any way to show my detail views in my elevations?
In autocad we use a little line with the detail number, but I can't find anything like that in revit. I've attached an example.

I have adjusted my North Elevation (using View Graphics) exactly the way I’d like it to look in elevation, and would now like to apply those same visibility adjustments to my other elevations. Is there a way I can save that view as a template and apply to other elevations, or do I instead need to create a view template, make all the adjustments to that template, then apply the template to the elevations?

I had a few exterior elevations (actual design elevations not 3d) of a building that looked great and had nice shadows and materials and everything was wonderful until today when I turned off a couple section marks and a level mark and then the back turned black and the dialog box in Graphic Display Options does not show the background section anymore?Now I can't even get rid of the black background!!

How to get the brick hatch pattern on my elevations to line up between levels. Â I have a two story residence with one wall the front that has brick all the up to the roof (the rest of the house has cement board side on the second story). Â My problem is that the brick pattern on the second floor wall does not line up with the brick pattern on the first floor.
I tried to just extend the first floor wall up to the roof, but I did not like how it wrapped around the corner of the second floor to tie in with the siding. Â Surely theres is a way to set the hatch patterns origin like in ACA so that all the bricks line up nice and pretty. Â Also would lining up the brick pattern on the quoins, which are, whatchamacallums... in-place-edit components?

Is it possible to use the Window Schedule to create many windows at once?For example we have a Excel spreadsheet that describes a window on each row. The columns specify the x, y, z, width, height, type, etc.
Â
15, 10, 1, 1.3, 1.5, M_Fixed
1, 10, 1, 1.3, 1.5, M_Fixed
15, 1, 1, 1.3, 1.5, M_FixedÂ
If we paste this information into a Schedule with the same columns will it automatically create these windows with the correct properties(position, dimensions, type, etc.)?Also would it be possible to do the same with other elements such as Pipes and Pits? How would we specify the family for these elements?

I saw there were a few questions about mansard roofs but I have a special design that I cannot generate with Revit.
Â
The upper roof from the mansard has an overhang and the roof under it ends in a point so if there is a lot of wind my upper roof will fly away (we live in a windy region ).
I Would like to have the roof under it to end flat so the upper roof can rest on the one that is below it.Now both roofs are drawn by footprint.

I have a large building project with multiple linked files (building split into blocks plus furniture etc models) with shared co-ordinates. All are working fine except one which happens to be a furniture and equipment model. When sections and/or elevations are placed in either the host or the linked file the views do not corrospond with the cut line of the section or view line of the elevation, for example if I place an elevation within a room the elevation looks as if it has been placed in a different position some metres away. When the files are linked within each other using the shared co-ordinates they place themselves in plan and elevation perfectly. I am trying to create room elevations to show furniture/equipment layouts and this is making it impossible!

We have a buildig form which is developed as a sweep form. The form is made as a generic family. When the form is placed in the project, we are able to see the cut lines as in plan but when we try to draw floor plates which are to be generatd from the intersecting lines of the form in respective levels, we are unable to select the cut lines.
Â
how can we generate the floor plates which are linked to the cut lines?

We are using iPart - iAssembly workflow with Inv-2013 and Vault Basic 2013
My question is related to released state of iparts. Currently we are generating/ releasing
all the iparts when new member is added in order to manintain the parent child version relationship
Example : say i have a ipart 41020.ipt and i have members 41020- 001 ~ 008 . I check out the parent
from Vault and add 009 member to it.
Question :
Do I have to generate all and check those in to maintain the version relationship between the child and parent inside
Vault 2013 ?
 Or
Only generating 009 will maintain version relationship inside Vault 2013

I'm using the liquify tool to fit a fake tattoo to a face, and I want to twist part of the tattoo to adjust for perspective. Unfortunately, the twirl tool in liquify is in fact a "Twirl Clockwise" tool- Counter Clockwise doesn't seem to be an option!
