How we tend to think of the structure does not accurately reflect how we really wanted them to behave though."growing up" was and is the preference, thus why the options to use either now exist. view range is one of those elusive Revit features I am still trying to. A developer "heard" this and developed those with this presumption. You can set Fill pattern, Background, Line Weight Number, and Color for the region. This difference of focus is the genesis of the columns and foundation walls "growing" down (depth versus height) instead of up. So very often the structural plan shows the structure beneath the floor instead of the traditional "RCP" used by Architects. Assuming the same second floor plan, the structure at their feet is what is most "interesting" to them. Structural engineers (again in the USA) tend to think about the structure supporting the floor we are standing on. In the View Range dialog, modify view range properties as necessary. On the Properties palette, locate the View Range parameter, and click Edit. If looking at the second floor plan this means that the structure above is what is most "interesting". How do I make a view range editable in Revit 1. CADclip to explain the deal.Nice graphics Alfredo! Saying the same thing, worded differently.Īrchitects (in the USA) tend to think about the structure above their heads when they look at a floor plan.

So I figure.I can't be the only one who has had this problem. I quickly panned over to the window area and stretched the Plan Region boundary in width just a micro smiggin (even though the window was already completely within the plan region boundary) and SHAZAM ! It worked. I had stretched the Plan Region boundary before to get doors to display properly because the door panel would not show up.and THEN THE LIGHT BULB CAME ON (I love it when the light bulb comes on). Yes, I was even contemplating drawing in detail lines to represent the window frame, glass and sash that would not show up.aaaaaaahhhhhh ! FILTERS Filters provide a way to override the graphic display and control the visibility of elements that share common properties in a view. Model elements in that extra view range can be displayed differently.

The View depth is an additional plane outside the primary range. I revisited the area off and on each time I opened the model, always frustrated with no success. The View Range set the cutting plane and a bottom (or top) clipping plane. I was able to get the window opening to show in the plan region but not with the window frame, glass and sash detail to display. I am a little embarassed to say I was down right puzzled with a wee Plan Region / View Range problem over the last week or two.
