Hi everyone.

I have a HUGE PROBLEM doing wall sections for my architectural plans.

The problem is that my boss and the architect are asking for what I beleive is impossible. But meaby someone might have the answer I am looking for.

Here it is.

 

I cut a section in a wall. See sketch A.

 

I apply 2D detail and reapeating detail to that section. See sketch B.

My boss thinks this should be done automatically by revit. Even if I assign materials with cut patterns to my wall layer elements, how would I get my dotted lines to line up properly for my wall cladding and my membrane layer?

 

The Architect wants all my wall layers and roof layers to seperate so they can be seen better. See sketch C and D.

He thinks that revit probably has a command that lets you seperate, or disasociate, 3D elements to let you move them in section or callout without actually moving them in the rest of the model.

 

So in other words, does anyone know how, or if, I can get revit to go from my sketch A to my sketch C and D automatically?

 

Thanks.

  • Detail components can not be added automatically to system walls.
  • Membane layers usually don't show because they usually have no thickness.... we just add a line
  • In any view, you can use the linework tool to change a model line to a different type, including invisible.
  • Obviously a model wall has no seperation of elements like your boss wants.  So you have no choce but to use detail componets and draft it. 

I personally don't like the "exploded detail" where componets are out of alignment but I understand why some want this.  I believe a better solution will now be available to us in release 12.  If you do 3D details (which we are doing a lot of), in release 12, you can do assembly and parts in 3D... I think like a cut-a-way.  I am looking forward at seeing how we can apply this new tool.
