STRUCTURAL AND ARCHITECTURAL ELEVATIONS IN SAME PROJECT

[Anonymous]

I've tried to do this before without sucess.

¿It's possible to show in the same project two different levels?

I.E.:

For me it's very important to show the finished floor level (architectural) in a easy way to hide all architectural levels in elevations at the same time, or hide all structural levels keeping the structural levels.

Talking about the same issue, i've tried to the next thing without sucess.

For the same level, insert level referenced to base point and in the same project a level referenced to sea level.

Sure. You can create different Level Types and hide via a Filter.   

Are both disciplines modeled in the same Project or Linked into another?

Hi, @barthbradley thank you for the answer.

I had the two cases, actually i'm dealing with the first one.

I dont know how to create structural and architectural levels and choose when to show them independently.

A solution would be aprecciated.

- For the sencond case, elevations over sea level, I don't know how to create a completely independent level  from the levels referenced to the project base point. I.e. maybe I only want to show the elevation over the sea level in one level referenced to the project base point (in example, insertion point of pile foundations).

Thank you!

I'm not understanding where you are having trouble. Everything you are describing can be easily achieved through using a combination of Rule-Based Filters, View Visibility/Graphic Overrides, and two different Level Types; one referencing Project Base Point and the other referencing Survey Point.   To create a new Level TYPE, simply duplicate an existing Level Type and change its "Elevation Base" setting.  If you want Plans Views to be associated to newly created Levels, you can create them by going to View tab=>Plan Views=>Floor Plans and selecting the Level name in list.

hi @barthbradley , i can't understand the way you're telling me to do this thing.

Only way to have 2 different reference levels in Revit is not creating 2 different worksets?

If I do what you say, all elevations change when I move one of them.

I would like to achive the same thing I show in the upper pictures, it's not possible without worksets?

Thank you in advance

Maybe I am misunderstanding what you are trying to do.  I think now you may be talking about more than "Levels" (e.g. datums), which is how I understood you, and all I was talking about.  I'm not talking about anything more than Levels.  Can you elaborate on your question?

for 2nd case, how about creating a spot elevation, and set that to surveypoint instead of creating two different level datums?

The problem is to consider architectural levels and structural levels.

That's the issue I would like to solve.

[dferreira-blackwell]

as for the first case as above posts before me suggested, creating two worksets one for arch. and one for structural. to control their visibility.

Also, other way if Arch. levels are just for visual and nothing referenced or attached to them just create a symbol looking similar to level datum. So you don't have to create work sets.
