Electrical plan

Hi.I have drawn the electrical plan, but unfortunately all the lights and sockets have appeared in other maps, such as plans and sections. What can I do to be seen only in the electricity plan?

Hello @sabamail65,

I would suggest you to look into this Autodesk article about creating and assigning View templates to your Views.

With View templates, you can create your company standards for all the View Types you are using.

Assign them to your project Views so you can manage the visibility in one place.

you can manage the:

Model categories
Annotation categories
CAD imports
Filters
Linked files
Design options
Worksets

Please see the article below:

About View Templates

They need to be turned off in the V/G Overrides by categories.

Sorry did not notice. Can you show it visually?

This is basic stuff every Revit user needs to know. Put it into your favorite search engine and you will find everything you need to know. It's been covered many times, many ways.

Hello @sabamail65,

Go to 'Visual/Graphics Overrides' in your properties or press VV on your keyboard.

when your don setting the Visual Graphics Right, you can create a View template of this View and use it in other similar Views.

Just right-click on your View and select 'Create View Template from View'

Please see my first post to your question and the link to the Autodesk Knowledgebase.

Sorry . I want to draw a simple electrical drawing that does not appear in other drawings when I put the lights and sockets in it. Unfortunately, everything I did to your method did not work. Show the possibility in the form of a film?

@robert.klempau showed you step by step how to do it. If you cannot follow 2 images a video won't fix the issue for you.

Sounds like a Layer-8 error you need to get fixed. These forums cannot help you with that.
