Revit Tip - Floor Plan and Ceiling Plan View Range Explained

Labels: ,



There has been a trend in the firm I work for with new Revit adopters... Particularly, the ones who started out in AutoCAD.  The issue stems from the understanding of "View Range" and it's multiple settings.  Well, with some serious searching throughout the blogosphere, Revit help, and forums I pieced together a list of links and images to be compiled.  Doug Campbell, the IT guy at our company, put together a great hand out using this information. Even the most advanced of Revit users should print this whitepaper out and keep it at hand.


We also are planning on using some of Steve's old videos from a few years ago to help explain this....

I also had a previous post that touched slightly on it...

Thank you Jeff!

View range has been a trial and error experimentation till I get to where I think I want to be. Once again a great source of Revit info.

Nicely documented.

It's always been an interesting process to explain this topic during my Revit classes.

Unfortunately, the Revit HELP has not been a very quick training reference.

As mentioned, piecing together explanations from other sources and from my projects has helped my trainees to better understand this topic.

Thanks for your efforts.

Sorry I just had to take this quote from the document and post it.

**IMPORTANT**
Underlay’s will not support you for penetrations,

By the way very nicely explained! Good work

we are using a linked architecture model in Revit MEP and cannot get the RCP to look the same once linked in. We cannot see walls or ceiling materials (hatches, etc.). One peculiar thing: we can see walls when we view in wire frame but not in hidden line view; we prefer hidden line because within that view style you can see which pipe runs over which other pipe, this is not clear in wireframe. Any thought on how we can make the arch linked file look right in RCPs? Thanks.
