Tutorials- Framing plan

[Anonymous]

Are there any good tutorials out there on how to put together a framing
plan. Where to set view planes, ranges etc. The residentail-default.rte
has the top set at 0'-0", cut plane set at 0'-0", bottom set to 4'-0" and
the view depth set to 4'-0". When I try to set mine to that it wont do it
because the cut plane is below the bottom range. Also, the walls dont show
up, so you have to do the level below as an underlay. I saw a nice looking
.jpeg of one in a the customer gallery but it doesnt give any information on
how it was set up. That would be one thing that would be handy when you go
to section or elevation is to have a toggle of the view range so you could
see where it is cutting.

thanks

That depends on what you want it to look like...

For instance, I have levels, 1, 2 and a T.O. Plate - lvl 1 in a revit model.
I would base my framing plan off the T.O. Plate - lvl 1 view and set the cut
plane to -2'-0". the bottom set to something lower than -2'-0"... top @
whatever...

I also like to have the floor above on as an underlay.

Does that help?

Thanks Paul. The way your framing plan looks in the customer gallery is
exactly what I am trying to accomplish, but I am having no luck in achiving
it. I am confused on how in the default template they set the bottom clip
plane below the cut plane and I cant do that on my plan. I have lower, main
and upper levels with roof levels. So when I try to do the lower level
wall/ main floor framing and it is in hidden line it doesnt show the framing
but when it is in wireframe it shows as single lines. I would prefer to see
all of the linework because we use different framing materials and it is
beneficial to see them graphically. I set the top plane ( 0'-0" main
level ) cut plane ( -2'-0" Assoc lower ) bottom ( -4'-0" Assoc lower ) and
view depth ( -4'-0" Assoc lower ) Again Paul I would like mine to look just
like the one you did in the cg. Thanks for all the help.

John,
The bottom clip plane has to be below the cut plane...

You will want to set your framing plan from the TOP down. So for your upper
floor framing plan use either the 'upper level' OR a 'TO Plate MAIN' level
for the base. Then set your cut plane / bottom clip plane from there... take
a look at the images i posted in CG.

I'm not sure about the lines not showing up, i typically have my framing
views set to hidden line. Could you post an example file?

That's odd... i just opened an old project to post the view range and
noticed my bottom range & my view depth was set ABOVE my cut plane... That
shouldn't work!
