View Range?

[Anonymous]

Not sure if this is a view range bug or something else. One level on my project has the walls on level below showing. I have a conc slab floor drawn on the 82ft level and the view range is associated to the 82ft level with top set at 7'-6" and cut plan set at 4'-0" and bottom and view depth set at 0'-0". I manually overrode the visibilty of this walls but it would be nice if I knew what was causing this. the walls are below the 82ft leval and there are other item showing up besides the walls such as a stair that doesn't go to 82ft level and furniture on th 70ft level.

Any ideas on what else I can check?

Thanks,

Jeff

is overlay turned on perhaps?

You probably have the visibility of your floor turn off. There is an exemption of certain categories (floors, ramps, stairs and component that are mounted on the fllor) that will show up if they are outside of your view range. As long as they are 4 feet of your view range, they will show up using the beyond line style.

yes is was the underlay being turned on. What can I say I'm a noob at revit still, lol.

Thanks for your reply Jdiala, but it was the underlay setting. I would like to look into the visibilty that you speak of where is this exemption located so I can adjust it if needed?

Thanks,

Here is an except from a revit guide regarding additional view range rules.

■ Model elements located outside of the view range generally are not shown in the view. The exceptions
are floors, stairs, ramps, and components that stay or are mounted on the floor (like furniture). These
are shown even when slightly below the view range. In addition, fascia, gutters, and slab edges are shown
when their bottoms are within a tolerance of the primary view range bottom.
Floors located outside the view range use an adjusted range that is 4 feet (approximately 1.22 meters)
below the bottom of the primary range. Floors are drawn with the Beyond line style if the floor exists
within this adjusted range.
■ Elements that are strictly below the cut plane, but are at least partially within the view range, are shown
as viewed from above. Components display according to Family Element Visibility Settings for Plan/RCP.
See Managing Family Visibility and Detail Level on page 1708
■ Walls shorter than 6 feet (approximately 1.83 meters) are not cut, even if they intersect the cut plane.
The 6 feet are measured from the top of the bounding box to the bottom of the primary view range. For
example, if you create a wall with a sloped top face, when the top of the wall is 6 feet away from the
bottom of the primary view range, the wall is cut at the cut plane. When the top of the wall is less than
6 feet, the entire wall shows as projection even where it intersects the cut plane. This behavior always
occurs when the Top Constraint property for the wall is specified as Unconnected.
■ There are a few categories for which an element located above the cut plane but partially below the top
clip is shown in plan. These categories include windows, casework, and generic models. These objects
are shown as viewed from above.
■ Visibility in RCP views is similar to plan views with the exception that objects are presented as viewed
from below and mirrored.
