Link visibility issue?

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hey, im currently working on a model with structure revit file linked in as Overlay.

Filter has been added so that structural walls and colums display in orange color, with 35% transparency.

The issue is that in some places, like one shown on picture, revit structure link is actually occluded by walls in my model, whereas I would like it to be over/in front of my model and with transparency.1.PNG

they way I do it is to change lineweights - heavier lines for linked model and very thin for my elements. Then you can see clearly all elements, even if they are in the same place.

Another option is to create a filter that shows structural walls in a different colour and switch off the cut patterns.  Keep the patterns in the arch walls so that you can see where they coincide.

The thing is - this filter already exists and its on. The thing is that on this level it seems to be occluded by other walls, which is weird for me - view range is the same on every view - and on other plan views the cut works just fine showing overlapping walls in architecture and in structure.

 

On first photo i show the affected view - where arch walls occlude structure walls - you can see occluded walls more clearly when its selected in revit - thus showing them in 'ghosted' way

On the second photo we see correctly working view of a floor above - structure and architecture walls overlapping correctly.

Thank you for the model. I'm taking a look at the walls now. They appear to be the same so I'm not sure why the views are different. I will let you know what my investigation finds!

Hi @Anonymous, 

 

There are a lot of overlapping walls in this area, I would look at how the walls are modeled and the property settings for each one. Redrawing some of them in the affected view showed the link as expected.
