This topic is quite frequently discussed on AUGI....
There are numerous suggested workarounds, but I do not agree with any of them.
In South Africa hatching the bearing elements under is standard procedure.
Since the elements are designated as bearing, there should be no problem in allowing for another "cut plane" in the "View Properties" with an additional surface pattern for the hatching indicating the elements under.
I agree... It is a classic case of programmers not being flexible to the way products are used / required to be used in the field.
The inability of Revit to display bearing elements under as hatched is a MAJOR disadvantage !!
Is there a setting where you can force the hatch to the back on say a Structural Column or Structural Wall where the hatch is solid so it looks and prints fine.... I have this and can't seem to find out how to force the hatch behing the column lines..
I know this is slightly different form this thread..
Cheers
A workaround is to make two structural floorplans with two different view templates. One just to make the underlying structure visibly (cutpatterns). In a sheet you can then paste them on top of each other.
Good luck! I hope autodesk comes up with a better solution!
Coming from Architecture to support Structures, I am only now aware of this issue. Can someone point me to an accepted workaround?. Changing the visibility of slabs, or overlaying views are not preferred options. Thanks Dale
