Way to not print underlay components showing in view?

Getting familiar with underlays. Notice that whenever I turn underlays on it shows up on sheets when I drag the view to them.

I would like to be able to not have to switch back and forth between "none" and trying to remember what I had showing before every time I look at a view.

Any way to accomplish what I'm after? I guess one way would be to set up "working views" but would rather not have to do that since I already have a lot of views referencing back to a lot of levels I'm sorting through at the moment.

Revit printing is WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get), so if you see Underlay in a view, it will print.  There are a few approaches:

 

- Create separate view templates for working and printing

- Create separate sheet views and working views (you mentioned you disfavored doing it but it is actually the most robust way to work with Revit)

Ok and life goes on lol.

So here's what I'm thinking.....

Originally I was kind of the mindset that I would create all these different levels (which i have btw), so that as I'm working with my model I could flip to any intersection of material at any location in section and pull up a plan view of that area and know exactly what I was looking at.

So, now I have all these different levels.... some of which won't ever be printed.... and as you recommended some could be "changed" to work planes, but regardless it's some more "stuff" to keep track of.

So now that I've been playing with underlays I'm kind of thinking I can scrap some levels if I can leave the underlay feature on.... but I can't because I don't want to keep going back and forth with turning on and off for printing purposes etc.

Thus the thought of separate "working views" which you seem to be on board with.

So how would you handle?

Just create a new working view folder with the limited plan views that I would be comfortable working with as long as I could see what was below and above for any particular plan? Have a separate view template for these views and just leave on the underlay?

Thoughts? Anything else you would recommend along these lines?

You still need a Level and a View associated with that Level in order to turn on the Underlay viewing that Level.

Sheet Views are strictly templated.  Working views are free to turn on/off stuff, scale, range, etc... to serve what I am working on.  I can have several working views of the same level for different purposes.

Views are managed via Browser Organization.

Thanks ToanDN.

I understand what you're saying now and I'm going to implement. I had started working on a browser structure that makes sense to me and was thinking that working views might be nice. Guessing similar "working views" for sections/ elevations/ 3d stuff etc might be useful.... but figuring out where to draw the line could be a challenge.

FYI, I also created this other category "all on" with the hope that I would be able to set that up so if anything was hidden in a view and I couldn't find it I could at least go to these views to locate it. Don't think this will work with VG over rides however so not sure how useful. I digress but thanks for your help.

See anything with my structure that screams at you will be a problem later?
