Urgent Help! Family Cut/Surface Pattern not showing in Projects

Hello Please find a screencast below depicting the situation.

I made a brickwork wall and a concrete blockwork wall in the same family, when I upload to project they became one object. So I edited the cut/surface patterns so that they could be distinguished, I did this on the family, updated the family in project but it didn't show in my section.

 

Thank you in advance for your help!

VG in that View and see if the Cut Pattern under Generic Model category is Visible.  By the way, why the heck did you model the wall assembly using a generic model family?  Use Wall tool.  Don't make your life harder unnecessarily.

Thank you for your reply ToanDN. I went to that menu in the that view, looked at Generic models and in both the Cut patterns and Projection/Surface patterns they are checked as visible.

However for the colour and pattern just like the screen you displayed the drop down is set to "<No Overides>"

 

And thanks I will try and use that for next time!

I loaded it in a project and the cut patterns show up just fine.  How about you open the Materials in the Project, and check the definition of the Brick Common Red and Concrete see if they have the same patterns as defined in the family?

Again, there is no reason to build this as a family.  The wall tool in Revit is a much better choice.

hi @Anonymous,

 

I think you are experiencing a very common issue.

 

Your project materials probably override your family materials.

Check the properties of your materials in your project.

Once the material exists in your family AND in your project, the project material overrides the family one.

 

So, in order to do that, go into your family, write down the name of the materials.

Then go to your project and update those materials according to the desired result!

 

Hope this will solve your problem,

 

François

Thanks for your reply, I am suprised it worked for you, maybe it is because I previously loaded it when it was a different material. I will try and do the same in a new project.

 

 

@FGPerraudin

 

Thank you for that, I will try and see what becomes of it.

It works for me because these materials did not exist in my project, so
when I loaded the family in, Revit loaded the materials defined in the
family. Basically Francois and I were saying the same thing. Check the
material definitions in Project and make sure they match with those in
family.

Actually the casework families do not show the cut pattern in floor plan views for some reason, so it has worked here because it's a section/elevation view

Casework is a special category that is cutable in section but not in plan, at least in older versions.  If you are in 2023 or newer, edit the family and see if there is a box says cutable in view in properties then tick it.
