I am using the regular Unit Heater from the Revit library. I have modified it to fit our needs. Now I need to hatch it in plan view. I cannot hatch the item in the family itself. I found this on another thread:
"You want to create that annotation parametric then link the parameters"
What is this and how do I do it? Or is there a better way to hatch my unit heater and any other equipment I may need to hatch in the future?
Nevermind, I found something that works just fine for me. For those who want to know...In my 1-Mech view I went to visibility graphics and just added a fill for all mechaical equipment. Works for me for now.
Either that you could create a generic model family which will allow you to create a 2D filled region. This can then be used to show the unit in plan rather than all the 3D elements - which supposedly helps Revit run a little better.
If you want to hatch just the heaters, you can go to Vg and add a Filter that will just apply a hatch to that family.
You can also save the changes you made to VG for use in other views by creating a View Template from that view. Just make sure you uncheck the things that you dont want included in your template.
I realised I made a mistake in my previous reply - it should have said Detail Component family not generic model.
As mentioned before - you need to consider whether you want all the 3D geometry visible in a plan view rather than having 2D elements visible instead as everytime you amend the model then Revit has to regenerate all the 3D geometry even though most of it is hidden.
I have a detailed item family created to be used as hatch pattern for a filter.
I was wondering what is the steps to include it into the filter for walls in plan view for example?
thanks.
You need the Fill Pattern as a Drafting pattern in project. Then go to VG and edit the Filter's Cut Pattern to use it, assuming you have already configured the filter correctly to cover the designated walls.
