View material in floor plans

[a.mikacic]

Hello, I have tried everything as an attachment in the image and I can not make several families in plan, see the corresponding material.

I appreciate your help.

Option 1: show family materials in true floor plan views:

- edit the family > open a 3D view > select 3d elements > set to be visible for Plan/RCP at all detail levels (fine, medium, coarse)

- go to a plan view > select any 2d masking / filled regions > set to be invisible

Option 2: create 3d top views in lieu of floor plans and the materials will show without editing the families

Your toilet family has 2d lines and masking. This will not the material. So you have to edit the family, Remove those lines and masking region, and set the 3d model to show on plan/RCP

or If you need the family to show as linework for typical drawings AND show materials use the fine LOD to turn off the symbolic lines and masking region, and make sure the 3D elements are set to visible in that LOD. 

Also consider editing your families that would be used in this type of view to not mask. It looks weird with the white objects on colored floors etc. We did this log ago for that very reason.

Depends on the family...Table, chairs, sofas, Toilet seat for instance:

1. Edit the family
2. in Plan >>> Enable Preview
3. Select and delete the Detail item and symbolic lines
4. in 3D view >> Select the geometry  and make it visible in Plan/RCP
5. Reload into model and overwrite

Alternatively...If you need a rendered plan view with materials and you do not want to go through all of the above, simply use the 3D view and orient it to a Plan view

Thank you very much for the explanation, I did not know how to find the region mask.
