I have placed a chimney component at the second floor level. I'm trying to show the chimney enclosure at the second floor level using a plan region but the chimney cap keeps showing. I've tried adjusting the levels for the plan region but nothing seems to work. The component is an extrusion, will this not cut in the plan region?

Darn wiki help! ... It doesn't list this.  From the installed HELP:

Cuttable Families
 
 
 

 

If a family is cuttable, the family displays as cut when the cut plane of a view intersects that family in all types of views.

In the Family Element Visibility Settings dialog, there is an option called When cut in Plan/RCP. This option determines if family geometry is shown when the cut plane intersects that family. For example, in door families, the geometry for plan swing is set to be shown when the door is cut in plan views and not shown when the door is not cut.

This option is never made available and is never selected for non-cuttable families. For some cuttable families, the option is made available, and you can select it. For other cuttable families, the option is never made available, but it is always selected.

The following table lists cuttable families and whether the option is made available for that family.

Family CategoryOption Made Available Casework Yes Ceilings Not Applicable Columns Yes Curtain Wall Panels No Doors Yes Floors Not Applicable Generic Models No Roofs Not Applicable Site Yes Structural Columns Yes Structural Foundations Yes Structural Framing Yes Topography No Walls Not Applicable Windows Yes

The Wiki help sucks, quite frankly it's a joke. Not to mention it's completely fragmented. I seldome find what I want. Frustrating actually.

 

In fact the entire REVIT help method just keeps going down hill every year. But then again, speaking from a 'support and trainers' point of view CHAOS is CASH $$ . . . . . until I need help that is. . . . . : )

 

Wiki's are OK for a company Intranet etc but as a software help manual / system for a $7000 peice of software ?? Not so much.

Thanks for the help. I concur - Wiki help is not the best solution for finding answers.
