Structural View Range

[Anonymous]

In the screenshot below I have clouded locations where windows, doors, and beams need to be. As you can see some of the locations do not show windows or doors just a wall line where the window or door should be. I understand that my view range is not cutting through the windows or doors, I need my view range to cut at the Associated floor level with a 0'-0" offset so that my trusses will show up when I turn on the underlay of the floor below. Besides using the plan region option, are there any other ways to show both trusses, walls below, headers below, and beams below holding up those trusses below?

Plan region is only the way you can do change the view range:)

What happens if you set the appropriate architectural floor plan as an underlay?

I do not want to see Architectural underlay. I want to see structural headers. I believe I have the underlay of the structural floor below on anyway though because nothing wouldn't show through otherwise.

You might duplicate your structural plan for the floor below, just for the purpose of having a dedicated underlay, and then mess with the view range of that duplicated view to get it showing what you want.

If you want to see your doors/windows underneath, you can customize your door and window family in a way that they will be cut by the cut plane even if they are way below. Easiest way to achieve this is to add an invisible line extending over the door/window that will be cut by the plane and Revit will show your door/window with its cut properties. You can even assign a length parameter to your invisible line.

I am thinking that may be the best option at the moment. It may even be better to create a family that some how voids the wall above the header while only in plan view, that way you can possibly see a hidden line from a header. I think Revit needs this functionality added to the feature: "Show Hidden Lines by Discipline".

i would like to see a graphical override for wall below to change the pattern. We do this indeed by duplicate the view and arrange the cut en bottom and give the cut pattern a graphic override and model display on wireframe. But is a lot of work to do this when you have more then 20 floorsplans and 4 blocks at each floor 

perheps something for revit 2017 ?!
