Set View Range / Floor Plan with Parts above the cut plane, posible ???

Hi everybody,

 

is it possible to generate such a floor plan like below? I hope you can read my handwritings. The purpose is to see the beam no. 1, which is above the cut plane, in the floor plan.

 

I would be grateful of any help.

As long as you don't have doors and windows that need to be cut through in plan, changing the View Range should do the job.

 

To do so - 

1) type VR

2) make sure that the correct levels are associated for top and bottom of view range (1 and 3)

3) make sure that the cut plane is cutting through the feature that you wish to show in plan (2)

 

If there are no doors and windows (or other features) to complicate matters, a Plan Region will also do what you want. This has the advantage of not changing the view range for the entire view

1) View>>Plan Views>>Plan Region

2) you will be prompted to create a boundary - that will be your beam. Sketch and accept as usual

3) you will be prompted to set up the View Range for that boundary

Hi,

 

thank you for your reply.

 

Of course I should do it with the view raneg tool, as I tried to illustrate this in my handdrawing.

 

In addition I had to handle also Windows and doors.

 

So I would be very thankful if you had a suggestion for me.

 

I laso changed the view range settings for the whole view, but the result is still the same:

...here is the rvt-file.

Please see file Project 1 that illustrates the Plan Region approach

 

Another approach is the Invisible Line trick - edit the beam family and add an invisible line that will go through the cut plane. My attached file also illustrates that approach.

At the end of either approach - create a filter to display the beam in dashed lines in the floor plan view.

If you are attempting to get the beam above the cut plane and below the top plane to show, it is not going to work.  Only 3 categories of object will show up on a plan in the area of the view range. Casework, generic models, and windows.  So a "beam" will not show up when in that portion of the view range. 

 

You would need to achieve this with 2 views laid on top of each other, or by turning on an underlay and "tracing" the elements into the view with linework.

.thank you.

 

With which version did you create your file? I have Revit 2016.

 

Thank you again.

..here in Germany there is a convention, which almost all architects use. They look dowwards on a ceiling but draw beam or whatever above the cut plane with a very thin dashed line.

@babysatch Oh rats! I'm in 2017. Give me a minute to recreate the file in 2016!

 

Here is the file in 2016

Not a normal practice but you can edit the beam family and add a vertical model line down from the bottom of the beam so that the overhead beams will show on a normal floor plan cutting below the actual beams.  Then create a view filter for each level to control the graphics of the overhead beams.
