Posted this in REVIT Architecture and didn't get a response, thought I
would try it here.
We are having an issue with duct and pipe rises in an architectural
ceiling plan view. (Our engineer's model is linked into our model) If
the riser is within our primary view range, but above the ceiling, it
still shows up (as if it goes below the ceiling), even in hidden line
mode. The ceilings are not overridden in any form to show as
transparent. It is as if the riser ignore the fact that anything is
between it and the cut plane.
For example, we have an 8' ceiling. The view range for this ceiling
plan is set so the cut plane is at 7'-6" (above associated floor) and
the top and view depth are both set to 12' (above associated floor).
If there is a riser that happens from 9' to 11', then it shows up on
the ceiling plan as if it were below the ceiling. Since there is a
ceiling between the cut plan and the riser, we should not see the
riser. If we lower the view range below the riser, then the riser
does not appear. But many times we need the view depth to be higher
because of different ceiling heights.
Anyone encountered this before? Any solutions? Is this a bug in
REVIT? Thanks!
