One initial downside to this approach is that fact that you cant easily represent the elevation mark with a section head effectively. Sections can give you the same result, with hidden lines shown automatically Very tedious for large amounts of elevations. This needs to be done for each wall to reveal the elements behind, but you can activate a multiple selection which lets you pick everything behind in a window. You can even set your discipline view setting back to structural once you have revealed the hidden linework. With elevations, the best workflow is to use the "Show hidden lines" which is now located on the View-Ribbon Panel (previously in 2010 on the modify panel)īut for this to work, you actually need to set your view discipline setting to co-ordination. You will also notice in RST that if you select the attach to grid option, it automatically changes the elevation type to a "Framing Elevation" even if you think you are starting from Building Elevation -easy to miss!īut getting back to those hidden lines, once you have created your elevation you really want hidden linesĪlthough there is a better solution yet, I will explain the workflow for elevations first Useful if you want to model brace framing to the grid as a workplane It will set the current workplane in the view to the selected grid.
So at first you wonder what this RST (Revit Structure) tool "Framing Elevation" can offer, unfortunately it doesn't help us with our hidden linesįraming Elevation, allows you to create an elevation based on a grid line.īut in doing this it will also do a couple of handy things that will speed up creating elevations
However, Elevations in Revit will not show hidden lines. Some days you come across a task in Revit that makes you remember this is still based on a tool built for ArchitectsĮlevations are hugely efficient in Revit, but on a structural drawing you generally want to show all structural elements in the foreground (cut plane and projection lines) and elements behind (hidden lines)
