Does any one know how to hide door swings which are visible from the floor below. The swings are currently visible where we have a void in our building and where we have doors to an external roof terrace on the floor below. Thanks

Did you try adjusting the view range? Or a manual way would be to save them as a selection set and hide them in the view.

Using Revit2014, dragging the rest of the company with me from AutoCAD2008. When will the whining stop?

I thought about the view range but we want to show the terraces below. I'd not heard of selection sets so I've just googled the. This would be good except unfortunately we're running LT. Looks like a manual hide per element might be the best option

Are you showing the terraces below by using an underlay?  Don't do that, use your view depth instead.

Yep I'm using the view depth. Its just the doors where there aren't any floors to hide them

You could really fake it and put a masking region over each door swing, but that is a lot of effort that could become a huge headache later.

Why are you showing the terrace? What about a note that says "open to roof terrace below" and then you wouldn't need to have the view depth set to show it.

Your not telling us something because this just doesn't happen.  Look at the attached.  1st floor on the left has doors, 2nd floor plan w/underlay is in the middle <<< Note - no lower door swings, 2nd floor w/o underlay but view depth is on the right << note - no door swings.

So your settings are different then this and you did not tell us how.  Even a transparent setting will not show the lower floor door swings.

Either your door family is built incorrectly or your doors are being cut by the view cut plane or a plan region cut plane.

Robbie, I had a similar issue on my project. I found a post at Revit Forum with a great idea by user dzatto that worked well for me.

"Are your doors built with a nested set of symbolic lines to show the leaf swinging? If so, under visibility settings in the nested family, there is a check box for "show only if instance is cut"."
