I'm working in 2013.  I have a structural model referenced into model, and am having some issues with the view range? of the structural model.  

 

The view range of my plan is:

cut - 4'

Top - 7'

Bottom - 0'

Depth - 0' 

Associated Level across the board.

When the Revit model is inserted I see a brace (from structural) in the plan that should be cut much lower than it is showing up.  See the plan and interior elevation of the same area, attached.  The structural model is selected (blue) in both views.  As you'll see, the interior elevation shows the brace flying high above the door, but in plan it looks like the brace is in conflict with the door.  Is there some way to control the view range of linked model separately that I'm missing?  Also, under VG, Revit Links, (custom) my View Range is set to "By Host View." 

 

Regards,

.blc

Do you know what category that brace is in?

Search cuttable in the HELP:  http://wikihelp.autodesk.com/Revit/enu/2013

It's Structural Framing.  So do I need to go into the structural model to change the "Cuttable Families" option (the link didn't open in Chrome, for other readers...copy and paste into Mozilla)?

Sorry that I miss posted that link yesterday.  That was to our locally installed HELP.  I hate the Autodesk WIKI help because it is so slow and often doesn't even work so we turn that pointer off and point our systems to a locally installed version of the help.  I just tried to open the autodesk site and it will not open for me.

 

Structural framing is shown as cuttable but this does not look like it is.  That is why I wanted you to open the linked project and make sure that family is set to the right category.  Too many people just create generic families.

 

Your ultimate choice is to individually hide this element in plan.

Thanks.  I need to see it, so I'm assuming I'll have to change it in their model or have them change it and resend.

 

Thanks,

Ok, after going back and forth with the structural guys, we're still at a loss.  I need these to show up in my plan.  So, I can't jsut hide them.  They are catagorized as Structural Framing, so they should cut at the host view's View Range cut level.  I can't edit them with cut profile or anything like that.  Are there any other options here?  

Kind Regards,

.blc

For everyone else, the solution had to do with the view settings of the framing components on structural's end, as WWHub was suggesting.

The family ... even an in-place family... has to be set to a cuttable category.   See your HELP:
