Autodesk Viewer - 3D view from Revit

Anonymous
Not applicable

I'm using the online Autodesk Viewer to share my Revit model so other people can look at it without having Revit on their computers. The 3D view that makes it into the model seems to be a defaut view of everything that is existing in my Revit model, which is not what I'm looking for because it shows unnecessary elements like grids and model lines. I'd like to know if there is a way to select a view of my preference from my Revit model (that has been set to look a certain way - with templates and section boxes and such) or a way to edit the 3D view in the viewer to customize it to my liking.

 

Attached image: I'm trying to go from the image on the left, to something more like the image on the right.

 

Any help is appreciated.

I would setup a 3D view properly, export it to a 3D DWFx, then share it on Autodesk Viewer.

That would be an acceptable workaround, but I'm trying to keep the sheets from the Revit model also.

Then make sure the default {3d} view is properly setup (turn off anything you don't want for that view).

I did try that. I even deleted all other 3D views from the model. I set up this view to look like I wanted it to look (with tmeplates and section boxes), and the online view still seems to be displaying every item that is present in the model.

It works for me.  One with and one without section box.

If you main objection is that the default 3D View shows everything, why not just change what the default 3D view shows. You can apply a Template to it -- one that will be applied to every new {3D} view created. 

 

Delete existing {3D} view.  Create a new {3D} View. In the View's Properties, click on "Edit Type". Under the "Assign  View Template" dialog box that pops up, duplicate an existing Template to create a new one, and then set up the Properties for that new Template.  Press OK. Now delete that {3D} View and then press the little house icon. Another {3D} View is created, this time using new Template.    

 

FWIW

It  didn't for me. @barthbradley  has the solution below. Thanks!

 

I do have to add that I was previously uploading a central model. The solution worked when I uploaded the detached version (in case it changes anything).
