Visual Style and detail level-Revit 2015

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have a full set model for a project.

They created many 3d models.

I need to thing the orientation for some and modify the visual style,

all the option are gray and can not do any thing.

I searched and found some comment to work on view templates, I could not understand it

could any one help me in details, step by step or with pictures how I can modify them to be visualized?

Thank you

  Note: make your language easy, I am a Revit beginner.

Hi @Anonymous

Welcome to the Autodesk community!

Do you wan to rotate the model to true north or do you wan to modify a camera view?

1.To rotate a model to true north follow the steps listed at this link. Click HERE

2.To rotate a camera view - see the link HERE

Since the options are grayed out,change settings on the View template directly and this will affect all the views controlled by this view template.

Click View tabGraphics panelView Templates drop-downManage View Templates.

Change your view template to <none> from properties palette. You can later modify the appearance using visibility/graphics overrides.

3.You can control the display of the model with a visual style.

• View Control BarVisual StyleGraphic Display Options

To save a 3D view with an applied visual style

Follow the steps below:

1. In a 3D view, click on the navigation bar.

   SteeringWheels display in the drawing area.

2. Right-click SteeringWheels, and click Save View.
3. Enter a name for the new 3D view, and click OK.
   Note: If the navigation bar is hidden in your view, click View tab Windows panel User Interface drop-down Navigation Bar.

The new view appears in the Project Browser under 3D Views.

To apply a visual style to multiple views

1. Create a view template.

   In the view template, for Model Display, click Edit. On the Graphic Display Options dialog, select the desired visual style, and define other options as desired.

2. Create a view list.

   When selecting fields, include View Name, Type, and View Template.

3. In the view list, assign the desired view template to each view.

If you are locked out of a view's Visual Style and View Detail settings, then that view has a View Template that controls those settings.

Many thanks Viv,

when I tried to rotate the plan I could not find the site plan. they are all levels. what if I want to take a new 3d view and I don/t have the site sheet., that means the set I have received is not complete?
