Hello all, I started a new project a couple of weeks ago and set up my levels early on.  I added a level without making corresponding floor plan because I didn't think I'd need the plan.  Now it turns out I'd like to have that floor plan.  Is there a way to change the black level marker to the blue one, thereby getting a floor plan after the fact?  I already have walls and pieces defined to the black level marker and I'm not sure what will happen if I delete that level and replace it with a blue one.

Does this make sense?  Is there a way to change the level marker type after placing it?

Thanks in advance.

Easy ... learn to use your HELP - It will become your best friend.  In this case, if you searched for Plan, you would find: 

> Creating a Plan View

 

Read that - very easy

 

( I could tell you directly but it is better if you find out how good the help is )

Thanks, WWHub, but I know how to create a floor plan view.  That was not my question.  My question was about converting a level that DOES NOT have a floor plan associated with it into a level that DOES.  Is that something that can be done AFTER the level has been placed and object associated to it?

I think WW's answer it will be the same, check your HELP menu like he told you, it's very, very simple what you are asking....

Did you read the help? - Obvously NOT !

 

  1. Click View tabCreate panelPlan Views drop-down (Floor Plan).
  2. In the New Plan dialog, select one or more levels for which you want to create a plan view.

Typhoon and WWHub, thanks for the help.  Sorry I didn't read your post closely enough.  I was searching HELP for Levels, not creating a plan view.  Sorry for asking such a simple question.

We call this a "head slap"  you will have so many of those over the next few months that you may want to protect yourself..<GRIN>

 

Most things are so easy in Revit that you can't really see them.... Learn to use your HELP... It is very good.  Just do simple - one word searches... if you can't find what you need - think of a different similar term to your first word.  Also PAY ATTENTION TO THE OPTIONS BAR - it changes with everything you do.

 

After a few months, you will be amazed at what you can do but you have to be open to learning the software.  Throw out all your BAD CAD thoughts.

In order for a level to show, the view's view range / cut plane must include the level.  Find a perpindicular view, do not crop view and zoom all.   Now find your missing level line and darg it to where it will be seen in the view in question.

 

Also, search these threads for other possibilities: http://www.revitcity.com/forums.php?action=search&keywords=%22missing+level%22

I know this thread is pretty old (like a lot on here), and I'm having a similar issue mentioned, but the solution posted did not asnwer my problem.

 

A lot of my projects are remodels, so they change as the discovery process goes on through the demolition, permitting, etc.  I have a situation now where the original design had a new basements at the same vertical level as the existing basement (added on to the house).  I created the existing basement level, made a duplicate of it, then phased one as the Demolition,  and the other as the new construction (renamed it to New Basement).

 

Then later the client wanted the new basement to step down a few steps so it had taller ceilings downstairs in the new part.  Well, the new basement was already drawn in its own plan, but the nature of how I created the plan, did not produce a level marker... or not one that I can find anyhow.  I've looked through the phases, the perpendicular views, turned on hidden objects, expanded to 3D extents, etc. and did not see a Level for the Plan "New Basement".  So I created a new level and set it to the correct vertical elevation, and tried to name it "New Basement" but Revit says that name is already in use (associated with the plan).

 

So my question is, 1) is it possible to have a Plan with out a Level Object?  2) If not, and the Level object exists, where is it?  3) If it is possible to have a Plan without a Level Object, is it possible to create a Level Object for that existing Plan, without redrawing (or copy/pasting) the work already done in that Plan?

... a little more on this.  Both the Existing Basement, and the New Basement plans are associated with a Level Object called, simply "Basement".

 

I guess what I want to do is create a new level, and then associate an existing plan with the new level.  The "Associated Level" is grayed out in the Properties bar... this (I think?) is what I need to change, but don't see a way to do that.  I'll keep digging.  Any advice would be great.  Thanks!
