Hi,
by default revit shows roof plan in the Site plan view.
Is it possible to show site plan that one line would represent building contour? Also is it possible to cast shadows of all the building if the first floor is selected?
i was trying to make site plan from the fist floor, but since i gave intense topography ground is being cut and i need full topography.
i am using 2013 revit.
Please help.
The site plan view shows the roof because the view range
for that view is set to cut very high, but you can change it.
As for shadows in plan view, yes just turn them on.
If topography gets above the first floor and is being cut, I believe you could try creating a plan region around the building, lowering the cut plain at the building but keeping the high cut plain for the rest of the site.
View>Plan View>Plan Region
I have similar question but the thing is that I do want to show both the roof and the walls
Something like this :
What is the way to do it? Set cutplane to cut the walls and then underlay look up to the roof? I tried this but I cant see the roof lines
Set the cut plane above opening but below roof. Turn on under lay and use linework tool to override the roof outline and ridge lines with Overhead line style. Turn off underlay.
Thanks alot!
This also just fixed something I did`t know why is not working. I could not select any line when in Linework tool. Then I tried in another project and it worked over there and I didnt know why.
I just realized that If you set the Linework to By Category, you can`t select any line. I found some older posts with same issue and they were suggesting Revit reinstall or video driver issue.... I just lost like 1 hour trying to find answers.
Linework By Category only works on lines that have been overridden to another line type. By Category means to bring the lines back to their original.
