And so on to roof.
Revit roof plan lower level light fixtures showing up.
If i then go to my level 1 plan and select underlay option my walls show up however if i change my wall extents from base level 2 top level 3 to top level 3 0 1 i will no longer see the underlay this has no relation to the view depth settings as i ve tried to get both my working file to fail in this way and a test.
Click the edit button for the view range parameter.
With few exceptions all visibility settings in revit occur at the view level.
I have revit 2016 as well.
I drew this in revit architecture 2015.
In the view properties expand the underlay drop down and select the level on which the roof was created to display as an underlay.
We need to show elements typically only seen in the reflected ceiling view to show up in our floor plan view br br this little trick will show you how to use the magic model line to trick revit to show in a floor plan view items in the ceiling br br enjoy br rick kremer br applied software.
So one of the easiest things you can do to find a missing element is open or create another view.
This makes the roof line visible in the plan view but the lines appear as solid lines.
First of all i need to open the ground floor plan.
So i change the underlay parameter you find this is the properties palette to the level where your roof or roof light canopy etc resides.
A new view must be created as a copy of a view associated with the correct level or by using the view ribbon plan view choosing the correct plan view type and level.
How do i stop it from showing and interfering.
Open the plan view of the level in which you want to see the roof line.
And now i need to set it s underlay to show the roof element.
That sounds like a nasty little endless loop.
Enter a value for both the bottom offset under primary range and the level offset under view depth that is more than 4 feet from the floor or slab.
The top offset will default to the last used value e g.
Now my problem is i drew the ground floor plan in level 1.
Just for future reference when placing walls revit will default the base constraint to the level of the view you are in.
Select the linework tool in the view panel on the home ribbon.
When people copy a view and then rename it renaming a copy of level 1 to level 2 does not create view based on level 2 it is locked into the original level level 1 in this case.
In this example my roof element is at level 1.
Ok im almost a total noob in this i started using revit today and finished drawing a ground floor plan for a house.
If you are in a level 1 view and set the top offset to level 2 the next.
