Masking Regions ON/OFF

Hello 

 

I would like to know why some models from SEEK have masking regions on top of the model.

 

Is this a standard practice that Autodesk recommends when creating models?

 

Is there a way to turn them off globally at the project level (.RVT) as opposed to turning them off in the family (.rfa) level

 

Thanks

 

John

John, In Revit not all the 3D geometries inside the families appears in plan the rightway you expect! so you need to draw lines and 2D elements to satisfy a good graphics of the family in plan, section and elevation in which you'll prompt the family not to show the 3D in these views and hence it will show for example a floor pattern in a finishing layout and this isn't correct, that's why we are using masking regions there! 

 

You can use a visibility parameter for sure if this parameter is shiped and created within the family.

 

Thanks, Ibrahem Naeem

Masking region , sometimes, combined with a symbolic lines drawing, applied "on top of a 3d Model" is an instrument to simplify the image especialy for  a a plan view ( could also be used for elevation or section views )'

A 2d image replaces the 3d top view that usualy contains a lot of generating curves as , for example are the top view of an armchair,sofa or a plumbing fixture with round shapes. Visibility settings controls what is shown in every View Specific Display:

 

  • this controls in which views  the Model is displayed:

  • and this controls the display of the 2d symbolic lines and Masking Regions

Thanks Constantin  but can this be achieved at the project level.

 

I rather not edit the family.

 

Can I make a custom filter at the project level to turn them off in Visual Graphics.

 

 

Thanks
