Visibility of Linked Models - Showing too much

Hi All,

 

I'm fairly new to revit, but doing well so far. No matter how I google it, I can't seem to find a solution to my newest issue:

 

I'm working for the first time with linked models. I have a few different home types that I'm putting in a single site plan model, so I created each type in separate models, and linked them into the site model.

 

Everything seems to be going pretty smoothly, except for the graphics in elevation and 3D views. The linked models are showing too much information. It seems that whatever wall you're looking at, also shows anything on the backside of that wall. So with an exterior elevation, I'm seeing the kitchen cabinets attached to the interior of that wall. 

 

I've attached a screenshot for clarity. Note, this is a screenshot of an EXTERIOR elevation, yet I'm seeing INTERIOR fixtures and walls that are connected to the wall we're looking at. When I go into the original file, the graphics are totally fine, so I know it has something to do with linking the model. Please help!

Hi @trenaD9DJE

 

Before the guessing game starts, can you 

  1. duplicate the 3D view and send a screenshot of the duplicate one?
  2. Can you also provide any info on what you have set under Visibility Graphics (fornlinked models) any overrides ...etc
  3. You do not have any view templates applied?
  4. can u uncheck the graphics acceleration hardware in Revit options and observe if any change occurs?

Okay,

 

1. - Duplicate 3D View attached. As you can see, anywhere that has been joined/attached in the linked model is showing clearly here, as well as items attached to the exterior walls (i.e. kitchen cabinets)

 

2. This is exactly how the linked models came in. The only overrides I had applied to them was in elevation view, to get rid of their individual levels, but the problem was before I did that. 

 

3. This was before and after any view templates. They came in under the "none" template, and even with other view templates applied from my project template, it did not change.

 

Note: This graphic issue seems to be apart from and in spite of any type of visibility settings.

Welp, this is going to sound very very strange. I am talking to my coworker, and we have no idea why this fixed this issue but....

 

I was (still am) having an issue in the 3D views where it seems like there's a hidden element causing the zoom extents to make my model a pinpoint in the view, so I have to zoom way in every time (when I can find the pinpoint that is). - Anyone have any solutions on that one?

 

I have a civil AutoCAD site plan linked into this model. I thought maybe the extents on the cad file were strange, so I copied the linework into a new clean cad file and re-linked. It didn't solve my zoom extents problem, but I realized I wasn't seeing all the joins on the houses anymore. I went to my elevations, and they suddenly look normal! 

 

I really am at a loss for words why a linked civil cad file would cause graphics issues on my linked revit models.

Ok... you have an issue with the shared coordinates and the 20miles limitation...which is causing this odd behavior (I think...at least from what u described)

 

  1. can u go to a plan view (main Model) and on Visibility graphics enable the project base point and project survey Point
  2. Use spot coordinates > edit type > duplicate it > then scroll down and set it to measure from: relative >> click ok
  3. place a spot coordinate at the pproject base point and one at survey point (if they are far away from each other)

send the the above image and will tell u how it is best to fix

 

another question: when u linked the car site,

  1. u used origin 2 origin?
  2. And did u publish coordinates or acquired?
  3. in your cad file if u zoom extents..are there far away lines from the site (i.e.: site turns to a dot when zooming extents?)

Open the CAD file in AUtoCAD, thaw/turn ON all layers, do a ZOOM Extent, delete any linework unreasonably far away from the main site area.  Save and reload it in Revit.

Thank you for the obvious answer - but if you read my comment again, I already did that. I even went a step farther to copy the linework from Cad civil, and put it into one of my arch templates. Checked zoom extents and it's fine.

 

At this point, I do not think the linked cad file is the problem anymore.
