Overlapping Section Markers

[Anonymous]

Hi there, 

I have a long building with multiple modules that I created dependent plan views for. I then created sections running on the same line throughout the building to get an enlarged section of each module/plan area. I'm having a problem where the section markers for the adjacent dependent views are overlapping on the current view. I have tried adjusting the annotation crop but with no success of hiding the wrong markers.

I'd rather not have to independently hide each incorrect section marker as this would take an unnecessary amount of time doing this for each view, each level and each type of plan. 

I also tried playing around with filters but because the plans are dependents, I cannot apply separate filters to each plan.

Any help would be much appreciated.

HI

Rename Sections and filter using their name

Ex : Filter Section : Name Begins with : A

EX A-Section 1 Building

Filter Section : Name Begins with : B

EX B-Section 1 Building

Filter Section : Name Begins with : C

EX C-Section 1 Building

Filter Section : Name Begins with : SECTION

EX Section LONGITUDINAL

In the following example, Four sections are created, Dependent on one view..

all sections are placed on 

one sheet, A012

1 of A102, 2 of A102, 3 of A 103

Section named

SECTION

A- Section

B-Section

C-Section

and filter created for A, B , C and SECTION.. and applied those filters in

respective views..

I have attached revit file as well for your reference.

Cheers!

That helped, and I'm nearly there. The only issue now is the filters are also dependent on the single plan view.

I.e. I set the correct filter relating to the correlated section on the plan A. When I move to plan B and change the filter to only section B is reverts the changes on plan A because the filter is dependent on the overall plan view.

Right.. You cannot have dependent view with different filters..

 very tricky.. actually having different filers defeats the purpose of dependent view..

you can't change scale, VG , Workset, filters....of dependent views..only

crop regions can be different...

can you make those dependent views independent??

if you can, then just right click on " Dependent view " and make them independent...

Seems theres posibility using 

• Project parameters
• Shared parameters

Hope someone here would come up with the solutions.. 

Best of luck

Dependent Views and View Properties

A dependent view inherits view properties and view-specific elements from the primary view. Synchrony is kept between the primary view and dependent views for the following view properties:

• View Scale
• Display model
• Detail Level
• Visibility settings
• Visual Style
• Graphic Display Options
• Hide at scales coarser than
• Underlay
• Underlay orientation
• Wall Join Display
• Discipline
• Color Scheme Location
• Color Scheme
• Phase Filter
• Phase
• Associated Level
• View Template
• View Range
• Depth Clipping
• Far Clipping
• Far Clip Offset

The following properties can vary between the primary view and dependent views:

• Orientation
• Identity Data properties (with the exception of View Template)
• Extent properties (with the exceptions of View Range and Associated Level)
• Scope Box
• Project parameters
• Shared parameters

A possibility is the (mis)use of Design Options. Create a Design option set [Section-series] consisting of [serie01] and [serie02].

Set for alternating Sections the value of [Visible in Option] to [serie01], and set [serie02] for the rest.

There are then 2 methods to show/hide the sections.

1. make 2 view-templates, 1 showing design option serie01, and 1 showing design option serie02.
2. uncheck  V/G Overrides Design Options in the view-template, and manually choose the deign option to show in the plan views

Thanks for the suggestions. I was able to use a View Filter to catch the name of the Elevations and Sections to suppress the display of certain markers in my views. This worked well up until there was one view when it was suppressing a marker that I did not want it to hide. My option was to make a new View Filter - and then logically a whole different View Template, just for the couple of occasions when there was this different situation. In the end, I have just manually adjusted the few views I need to change: I selected the Section marker, hover over the little arrow circle "Cycle Section Head" and hit that twice to turn the marker off.

have you considered using match lines and creating your dependant views with scope boxes and cutting your sections in those dependant view instead of the host view, placing the section tags on either side of the matchlines?
