Skylight not showing Properly

bin — Wed, 31 Jul 2019 02:16:27 GMT

Hi All,

I have a very dumb question to ask:

The presentation of the skylight (same family type but different size) is not consistent on the sheet.

The second light on the second floor plan on the roof deck plan is showing the material of the glass as blue which is correct. However, the skylight on the first floor on the roof deck plan is showing the material of the glass as transparent white - Can see the vanity/toilet below.

I have tried to use the Create Similar command to duplicate a skylight from the second floor to the first floor roof - the presentation of the glass of the skylight I duplicated then changed to transparent white.

Roof Deck/Second Floor Roof Level: +29110

First Floor Roof/Second Floor Floor Level: +25260

Same glass material has been assigned to the glass.

Does anyone have any idea why this happens?

Thanks

I don't think is has anything to do with materials. I think it has to do with the Glass Visibility Settings. Is "When Cut in Plan/RCP" checked or unchecked? Also, understand that a Window Family's Cut representation in the Project is defined by the Cut representation in the Family. The Project's View Range has no effect. This could also be a factor.

BTW, the only way to make Glass "look" transparent in Elevation and Plan, is to hide the Glass in the View through VGOs. Only in 3D can Glass be Transparent -- assuming Opening Cut's "Transparent in 3D" is Checked in the Family.

That worked! I just need to check When Cut in Plan/RCP and Plan/RCP.

Thanks!
