conc column in concrete wall

Hello All

I am working on an all concrete project and of course we have concrete columns and shear walls within the concrete walls for the parking structure. Please keep the laughs to a minimum as this is my first project for an all concrete structure in revit plus I am still new as I work on new projects from time to time.

As you will see in the attached jpeg, we have color coated the shearwalls as red and the columns in purple. We are doing this for now to differenciate which is which. The intent is to change the color to a dark gray when the job is ready to be submitted.

Back to my my problem, I have highligted four columns that run from the parking level to the roof. The highligted columns are located in the parking level which has all concrete wall. I have checked that the two elements have been unjoined, however my problem is that I cannot get the color for the column to show. I have the same problem with the shearwalls in a couple of places.

I hope someone can help

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Kevin

Thanks for the explanation and screenshot. The discrepancies you are seeing are likey because, when unjoined, the columns and walls occupy the same physical space, and Revit does not know how to display them - which surface to show over the other.

 

Could you join them? If you select the column first in the join routine it should cut from the wall and display the column surface.

 

Without joining them, you could select the wall and Create Parts from it, as that appears to allow the column face to display, but creating parts from all of your walls is likely not a great idea performance-wise.

I have tried joining the geometry selecting the column first and also the wall first. i get the same result where the column becomes a hidden line.

 

Any other ideas on how to fix this.

Make sure your plan view discipline is "Structural". Other than that, your structural members won't show as your desire in "hidden line" style.

Could you maybe isolate the problem to just a single sample wall and a single column, clean out and purge the file, and attach it for us to take a look?
