Different Reference Planes for Plan and Sections

[Anonymous]

Hello. I want the reference planes that I am using in Plans not to appear in Sections or other view and vice-versa. 

Ideas are mostly appreciated, thanks.

Hi vcendoya,

Try turning off the Reference Plane Graphics in the Visibility/Graphics Overide (VV) Dialogue box. You'll find it in the Annotation Categories tab.

If you want this as a default to all the other sections / plans etc, then create a view template with it turned off and then apply the view template to all the other views. Can switch back to <none> view template after you have applied your settings.

Good Luck!

Best,

Thanks for your reply.

But for instance, if i want some reference planes in ground floor and I don´t want these to be shown on first floor,

and I want to create its own ones for that level, how do we achieve this?

If I turn them off in visibility grafics there will be all gone.

Thanks!

If you are using Revit 2017, you can create a new subcategory for reference planes and hide/show the ones that you want in a view using your view settings.

The visibility / graphics overrides (VV) applies to each view. So turning off the reference planes category in ground floor will not affect any other view.

Good luck,

Create a scope box that does not extend to the other floors and assign it to the reference planes.

For versions previous to 2017 you can use one or two specific s worksets that you may turn on and off depending the type of view you eye in. View templates may be a great help dealing with all the sections at once.
Hope it helps

I had the same doubt, and could solve it. What I did was, I selected all of the reference planes on my ground floor, and in the modify tab, i clicked on subcategory and changed from <None> to <Create new subcategory> So I created one called Ground Floor Reference Planes, and made sure all of my ground floor reference planes were set under this category. Then I changed to my first floor plan and opened up visibility graphics, and turned off the ground floor subcategry I created on the reference plane category. So all of them would disappear. I had to create a new subcategory for reference planes on first floor and that would work. Hope it was helpfull.
