rooms visible in 3d views

[Arkance-Systems_NL]

Dear support,

How can I make the rooms visible in a 3d view?

Our customer tries to do that, but don't know how.

Looking forward to hear from you.

Kind regards,

There's no function/tool in Revit for this. Why would you/the client want to see the room in 3D?

However, there are a few Dynamo scripts to create a mass based on the room's geometry.

Dynamo is your only answer. As for scripts, good luck. None of the ones I found online worked for me. I clobbered one together and got it to work, but it was very flimsy.

Attached is a Dynamo script to generate Masses from Rooms from this discussion.

@Arkance-Systems_NL hello, here is another approach, but not sure if this is acceptable to you? you can rotate until you get a better view of your 3D view plan

(room tags). you can try to rotate in different elevations view or sections. thanks

On the left is a Plan view. On the right is a Section view cut at a steep angle. It LOOKS like a 3D view, but it isn't one.

Rooms (and Color Schemes for them) can be seen, but ONLY where the cut plane of the Section slices through them. They can't be seen as a 3D volume.

Notice I have selected the CORRIDOR room (highlighted blue). In the Section you only get that portion of it that is actually sliced through by the Section cut.

Why some massing are shifted?

This is impressive but I can't select the masses to turn off, etc. =(   Ideate explorer doesn't even find them   +sad face+
What's weird is that when I close the dyn, the entire set of room masses goes away instantly

Try to copy paste them in place before closing Dynamo; this usually happens, simply, because of an element ID issue that sometimes updates created elements with new elements that have the same element ID, if I'm not mistaken.

Nizar.
