Elevation Marks are missing?

Anonymous — Fri, 28 Jul 2017 20:11:29 GMT

Hello

Sometimes when we make new plan views the existing (already set up) Elevations don't show up. We have the same template being used. I checked for filters, and that wasn't it. The VG shows them as on. The view range it the same. The level is the same. The "don't show in Views smaller than is the same. 1"-400'.

I think I remember that someone once told me that we can "Propagate" things like Elevation tags. What's the word on something like that?

Thanks for Your help

The phase must much. Existing elevation marks don't show on New plans and vice versa.

The View Discipline must match also. If you are creating Electrical views, for example, then Elevation marks that reference Architectural views are not going to show up on it.

What is the scale of the new floor plan? Every elevation (and section) has a parameter "Hide at scales coarser than". If the scale of the new floor plan is coarser than the set scale, the elevation won't be visible.

Hi @Anonymous

Your elevation marker will not appear in a plan view which is showing a different phase, since the elevation titles are phase dependant.

If you created your elevation in the "New Construction" phase, please change the Elevation view to "Existing"

Click on the elevation name in the Project Browser, and click "find referring views". This will open up a menu of all the views the elevations is in.

Open the floor plan and highlight the marker and the elevation line.

I ran into this problem as well. Specifically an elevation marker was not visible in a plan view when I thought it should be. All the other elevation markers were visible. Phase & discipline were all the same.

While all the other things mentioned previously by others may be true, none of them were the answer for me (phase, etc.).

What I did find was that:

The plan has a View Range. The elevation view has Crop View settings. They have to be consistent with each other for the elevation mark to show in the plan view.

Specifically if the "Crop View" is checked in the elevation view and the top extent of the crop box is below the "Bottom" extent of the plan view view range the elevation mark will disappear in the plan view. If you move the top extent of the elevation view crop box back above the plan view "Bottom" setting it will reappear.

If the elevation mark is set this way so as to not appear and you uncheck the Crop View setting in the elevation view properties, the elevation marker will reappear.

This is repeatable. Tile the two views and you can disappear and reappear the elevation marker to your heart's content.

You sometimes have to let Revit catch up for a half second or so for the change to take effect. F5 seems to get it to regenerate views. So if Revit doesn't seem to be affected by an adjustment that should cause the elevation marker to appear or disappear in the plan view when it should, press F5 and it will.

The plan view View Range limits that affect the visibility of the elevation marker are "Bottom" and "Top"

The Elevation View settings that affect the elevation marker's visibility in the plan view are the draggable vertical limits of the crop view, and the Crop View check mark.

i have this problem. i can see the elevation markers on all floors except the ground floor (GF). the phases of all floors and elevations are "new construction". they all match. and also i checked find referring views for the elevations and couldn't find my ground floor plan in it. i also check the limits of elevation in the site view and found no problems. can anyone help me with this problem?? is there any way i can add GF view to the referring views of the elevations??

P.S. in the picture shown below GF is ground floor level and GL is ground level. I am discussing GF level here.

Hi @jebinabraham

Can you please share the file to test on our end and mention the version of Revit you use?

Also, do you have linked files in your model?

Regards,

Hi... I deleted the level and created the level again n things were back to
normal. I dont know the reason for this problem. Next time it happens I'll
share the file. I'm using revit 2017 and was designing a commercial rcc
building.
Thank u for Ur interest.
