Thin Ceiling Florr On Lower Level Is Visible On Upper Floor Plan View?

[berkayisik27]

Hello there,

I am working on my project which is gonna be a dormitory. I have a problem in thin floors. I created a thin floor named as Painting for the ceiling of the room. I placed this in everywhere and had no problem. But in second floor's floor plan, I see first floor's ceiling like I show in the picture. I know this doesn't related with underlay or view range settings, because I only see ceiling, nothing else from below. What can I do? Is there a solution?

Thanks.

I, on the other hand, think it has something to do with view range. Post a screenshot of the view range info and a section cut thru the mistery area.

I don't think that it is about view range. Because as far as I know, if view range was set by showing us the lower level, I should have seen other pieces apart from thin ceiling as well. I am adding the screenshot. For your information, other level's view range settings are completely same, nothing different.

Also I am adding the section cut as well. As you can see, just below "Zemin Asma" and "Bodrum 1" level, I marked the thin ceilings. They are standing on 270cm high. But above Bodrum 1 level, the thin ceiling is standing on 170 cm high. In this situation, I don't see them on upper level's view. But if I set their elevation at 171 cm, they will be visible as well. So my solution was set them on 170cm high. Because I should calculate the quantities. 

Thank you for your answer.

Can you post screenshot of the section I asked?

Sorry, I have just edited my message.

Hide the ceiling category for your plan views. I will look further when I get to the office tomorrow.

@berkayisik27 Hello

Certain elements in revit are an exception to the view range (example floors/roofs/ceilings created using floor elements..e.tc)...as your ceiling elements are falling within that View range exception they will show on the floor above.

Such elements show even when they are beyond/outside the view range ...example: when you have the view range bottom and view depth set to 0mm and same level, you still see the floor which is basicaly below the level. If you want to understand this better I had a post on view range in reply to an old question LINK HERE

So your issue is like 50/50 View Range vs type of element you used to create that ceiling

If that is the case; some solutions are:

1. Switch off that category on the offending plan view
2. OR when the tcategory should stay on or cannot be switched off because other elements of the same should show; Place the ceiling or that element whatever it is on a separate workset and switch it off in plan views
3. OR convert those element to parts (once they are parts they loose the above exclusivity and disappear)

Example (a replica of what you have in the attached images):

Thank you for your answer. I think switching off the category is the best idea!
