Turning off ADA clearances in Revit links

[cspence]

Hi All,

I'm very new here to the Revit world. I'm working on a project where I have linked in the Architectural Revit model, but I would like to turn off all ADA clearance zones around doors, toilets, etc. I can't seem to find a way to do this through the Visibility Graphics. I can turn them off on a few select doors by unchecking "Elevation Swing" under "Doors" in VG's, but the ADA clearances still remain on around other doors, and within all the bathrooms. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Unfortunately, when dealing with ADA clearances, it's multiple moving targets depending on who created them. They are sometimes a line style that can be turned off globally. More likely they are subcategories under the family type. There are worse scenarios also. Your mileage may vary.

you need to find out what those clearances are (likely a sub-category). i use subcategories for installation clearances and created a sub category I only show in the views i want (i.e. a boiler clearance would only be visible on mechanical views, not structural etc.)

If the person who created them didn't use a separate sub-category... tell them to do it right.

as @RobDraw & @HVAC-Novice  said, it can be a couple different things. can you upload a couple of the families for us to look at?  Then we can better point you in the correct direction.

Dang!

Even though you totally changed your response, I'm going leave this out there.

Revit didn't make it complicated. It's easy once you know what is going on. The problem is there are many ways of creating them and users do what they think is right or works for them. You need to be prepared for the way your sources do it and know how to figure it out. If it were actually complicated, it would probably be more predictable.

Remember, not everyone works in your little box.

open a detached copy of the Architectural model and investigate your issues in a live model.

you can see how families are created and backwards engineer them to understand how they work then control those issues in your model through manage links settings

I the same issue all I want is to turn off ADA in my structural model.

Can you help?

All the information you need is in this thread already.

Yes sorry I should have read all the post.
