And now i need to set it s underlay to show the roof element.
Revit show single line for roof hidden above.
In the view properties expand the underlay drop down and select the level on which the roof was created to display as an underlay.
Ceiling plan views only look up.
Here is my simple building a single storey building with an overhanging pitched roof.
If your convention is to always show all foundations as hidden or dashed in a plan view i suggest making a view template for your plan views that has the structural foundation category overridden.
In order to enable different view representations make sure that the option show family pre cut in plan views in the structural beam family is unchecked.
Then you can override the line property of each segment that you want to show as hidden.
First of all i need to open the ground floor plan.
Manage additional settings line styles and select beyond.
Out of the box revit doesn t do this because revit shows it as it s built.
The model is already previously drawn by someone that actually knows what theyre doing.
Pipes only show as single lines in 3d model i have been working with revit for about a week now for a recent job.
Open the plan view of the level in which you want to see the roof line.
As you can see neither one of these options may be what you were specifically looking for but these are the workarounds for now.
Floorlan views only look down.
Lol but i noticed when i put the model in 3d view the pipe lines show up as single lines but the duct and everything else shows up as actual 3d.
The linetype called overhead is just a standard linetype like hidden or thin lines.
Revit will not detect things overhead.
For show hidden lines select a value.
This makes the roof line visible in the plan view but the lines appear as solid lines.
The top range of the view range dialog box is only there to establish how high the cut plan can go.
So let s say i want to show the outline of the roof on my ground floor plan.
Some may call this wysiwyg or what you see is what you get.
Here are some facts that may help in explaining how to show beams which are above.
If hidden lines do not display as expected check the view range.
Follow these steps in order to get the desired display.
Simply highlight the segment you want to show as hidden right click and select override by element.
