end connection symbol in 3D analytic model

[Anonymous]

We find it very difficult to check the end connection status of linear elements on the analytic model of Revit.

We find no way to output on screen a symbol according to relaxation degree of liberty at the end of the linear elements.

For a big model it make it difficult, even impossible to check this visually.

Is there a trick to put a symbol on the analytic model that we should be aware of ?

Via view visibility filters you can apply a system onto the analytical lines such as below. Below assumes you are using quick set release parameters rather than specific tick boxes. If using the tick boxes it adds a degree of complication that probably isn't practical.

When you get a short member you have to change view scale and zoom in.

Problem mainly is that you want to take the parameter value from the stick and set the graphics of the node and this isn't possible, so you can only change graphics of stick for stick parameters. You can also create analytical beam tags and do it that way.

Order would have to be as follows:

Thanks for the answer.

This approach is not perfect, but it is a beginning.

It is very important , not to say essential to be able to check the design hypothesis of a model.

So if Autodesk wants seriously that Revit becomes the basis of analytic model of a whole bunch of design software , I believe it is highly important to develop a graphic view of the node extremity conditions.

Also it is important to add edge relaxation condition to surfacic elements. I see today no possibility to define a plate with pined supports. Only some third party software can do that.
