Hi all. I have just started using Revit (migrated from ADT) and I have a problem regarding elevations, i hope you can help me with this. I have created two floor plans walls and everything and started to add slabs to each floor. When I turn to look at elevations I can see the lines (as the picture shows) of the slabs and the walls. Can someone tell me how i can change their properties so in sections you can see they consist of different material but in elevations they look as the same. I mean they are going to have at their exterior face finishes and same colour so they shouldnt be there. 

Sorry for my english I tried to be as clear as possible. Hope you can help me with this.

You can use the "Paint" tool to change the material of the faces of the floor. You can then use the "Linework" tool to make the slab lines invisible. The Linework tool is view specific.

Edit your slab....  I don't know what your wall is but I would expect that something goes past the face of your slab.  The reason your slab shows is that you have it's limits at the face of your wall and it probably  should be behind the skin ... unless you have a wall and slab of the same material ... like concrete.  In that case, use join geometry to blend the two materials and get rid of the floor lines.

Ok this is what I did and it works fine. I post it for reference for other users. 

1. Offset the base of top storey walls equal to the slab height (e.g if slab is 0.26 then offset -0.26)

2. Use Joint geometry on the  top and bottom storey walls. (lines dissapear but if you section you can see that the joint with the slab is not good)

3. Use attach to base for top storey wall to attach it to slab.

This is what I get which is very pleasing.

It sounds like you may do things backward from what most of us do.  Our floors are at the floor line, not the bottom of the floor.  Therefore, our walls start at the floor (no reason to offset).  The walls below go to the floor above.  When you create your floor (or edit it), you are given an opportunity to attach the walls below to the bottom of the floor and to cut the geometry out of any intersecting walls.

 

Because exterior walls may partially pass the bottom of the floor and go to the next floor line they are automatically partially cut out for the floor.
