Plan Region View Depth affected by overall View Range

Hi Community,

Recently I came across the following problem, hope some of you can help me to fix this.

The problem is the Plan Region view depth affected while I adjust the overall View Range View Depth.

In my model I got two room's where the Room-2 floor is lover 2m from the Room-1. So in order to show the low-level services in the Room-2, I created a plan region and set the Primary Range Bottom to -2m and it works well.

But I want to show those low-level services in Room-1 as well but it should be in hidden line.

So I adjust the overall view range View Depth to -2m. Unfortunately, the overall view range affects the Plan Region settings. I believe this might not be the application issue, maybe the logic issue might be my understanding is wrong.

If you guys got the answer to this issue kindly advice me.

I attached two images to get more clarity of this issue, kindly have a glance.

Also, I attached a sample project as well.

Hi @Radish_G  

I hope you doing well. 

 

As per your mention issue detail, you want to show domestic cold water pipe on Room-1. But DCW pipe is not on Low Level for Room 1 it's actually on below level for Room-1. For Room 2 pipe is low level. I think this is a logical solution to your issue. Still, you don't understand then we can discuss this on call. 
Thanks.

Hi @HEETESHC ,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I knew that the pipe is on the lower level. and we have to show it in the Basement-1 drawing.

Due to the requirement from our site team, we need to show the Basement-1 pipe in this level.

My understanding is Plan Region is the one override the View Range but in my case the other way around.

That's why I want to understand where it's going wrong.

Attached Image-3 shows, the final output that I am expecting.

Hi @Radish_G 

I got it. 

You need to use two plan region with different view range. also, you need to override pipe in in Room-1 as Hidden line.

Then you got your solution. 

Find attached Revit file for your reference.

Hi @HEETESHC ,

Thanks for your reply.

You are correct, the view shown in Image-3 is achieved based on the additional plan region. Actually, I didn't override the pipe, line type in the Room-1. I achieved it by adjusting the View depth in the Room-1 plan region, refer to attached Image-4. Actually, what I want to know is why the plan region is affected by the overall view range. I just want to correct my understanding. What I know is, plan region is used to override the overall view range, am I correct? If not let me know why I am wrong.

Dear @Radish_G,

Hi @HEETESHC ,

Thanks for your reply.

You are correct, the view shown in Image-3 is achieved based on the additional plan region. Actually, I didn't override the pipe, line type in the Room-1. I achieved it by adjusting the View depth in the Room-1 plan region, refer to attached Image-4. Actually, what I want to know is (1). why the plan region is affected by the overall view range. I just want to correct my understanding. What I know is, plan region is used to override the overall view range, (2). am I correct? If not let me know why I am wrong.

 

 

(1). Ans - Plan Region is not affected by overall view range. Plan region view range & Floor Plan View Range is totally different. We use the plan region to change the view range in a particular area of all floor. 

 

(2). Ans - You can say that but be clear with knowledge about Plan Region as I mentioned above.

Hello,

 

For MEP disciplines, the Plan Regions does not work very well, causing a lot of trouble, regarding the visibility of fittings, specially.

Whenever I need to do that I create two views, one for the larger area with a masking region, and another that covers the masking region area and place them one above the other in the Sheet.
