Revit Roof Plan Underlay

For example you may want to set an underlay for the casework in the kitchen to make it easier to place the light fixtures above.

Revit roof plan underlay.

Once i do this my roof element become visible in the ground floor plan. All other choices are absolute. On the properties palette for range. When you tried to underlay a floor only doors and windows were visible.

If the view range intersects the geometry of a level in your main view that level cannot be used as an underlay in the main view. In this example my roof element is at level 1. The slice of the model between that level and the next level up displays. I thought i would see what shows on the first floor view.

Now it s at this point where i could just trace over the perimeter. I highlighted the roof lines that are the underlay. Now the next step is to select the linework tool from the modify tab view panel. In the main floor level the bottom of the primary range is set to main floor with an offset of 1.

Had to crack open revit and play for a while. In the properties dialog box for the view you want to see the overhang lines in set the underlay drop down to be the level on which the roof was created. Use the underlay parameters on the properties palette to set an underlay. How do you make roof lines visible in floor plans revit 1.

Base level select the level you want to underlay. Select the linework tool in the view panel. You set an underlay by specifying a level. Three of the underlay options current level level above and level below are relative to the current level.

Open the plan view of the level in which you want to see the roof line. In the project browser open a plan view. 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. This issue occurs because there is an incorrect view range in the main view.
