Hi Guys,

I'd be grateful for anyones help on this matter please. I've just downloaded the attached family file and loaded it into my revit project. I can see the entire bed in 3d mode, but only an outline in ground floor plan of my project file. Am i missing something here? i've tried to ply around with view range in the editting mode of the family file but to no avail.

 

Many thanks,

 

Regards,

B

Prob a mask region in family in plan with all 3D objects made invisible in plan only. Open family in family editor and delete mask and select each 3D object and change its plan visibility to on. Using a mask speeds up the processing.

Left click on the "Import Symbol" to select it, and in your toolbar under the Modify tab select "Visibility Settings"

 

In the dialog box, tick "Plan/RCP" and click OK.

 

Try loading that into your revit project & see if it shows the element in plan view now.

Hi Both,

Thank you for your prompt response. I'm newbie to Revit, so the mask region is a new concept for me, the instructions provided by Raja worked a treat, so thank you both in any case.

 

I have another Q, i'm having trouble with an intersection detail, the "T" juncture of an external cavity wall, and an internal separating wall comprising cavity construction. I attach image below for illustration. I've tried to play around with wall profile, and the wall join tool, but cant seem to form a gap to create a continuous cavity.

 

Many thanks,

B

This can be fixed by going into the properties of both walls and moving the elements you want to wrap (in this case the block) outside of the core. If you have the air space as the core of the one wall and then use a membrane layer or sheathin or insulation as your core material in your exterior wall it will wrap properly.

 

When dealing with wrapping elements of walls the finishes wrap with finishes and the core wraps with core

Marmiketin,

 

You absolute legend! that explained the issue and solution perfectly and worked! Thank you Smile.

 

I may have a few questions as i work my way through my first revit project. As a matter of interest, what would you guys do in the event of traditional shop front designs requiring multiple options for discussion with the local councils. For example, we deal with a few existing historic buildings requiring traditional shopfronts. This would generally comprise of timber bi folds with traditional mouldings applied. In AC, these are simple lined drawings and sections to convey the idea. How would you approach something like this in Revit, as you couldn't work on manipulating a family file in isolation, the design of the shopfront would have to be viewed in context with the entire elevations i.e. existing stone mullions above, and retaining verticality any shopfront design proposals.

 

I attach an example of a recent project undertaken in AC to better explain what i'm after.

 

Many thanks,

B
