Revit Roof Plan Underlay

In this example my roof element is at level 1.

Revit roof plan underlay.

All other choices are absolute. How do you make roof lines visible in floor plans revit 1. Once i do this my roof element become visible in the ground floor plan. In the main floor level the bottom of the primary range is set to main floor with an offset of 1.

Then select the line style you want to represent the roof overhang in the view. In the properties dialog box for the view you want to see the overhang lines in set the underlay drop down to be the level on which the roof was created. Three of the underlay options current level level above and level below are relative to the current level. The slice of the model between that level and the next level up displays.

For example you may want to set an underlay for the casework in the kitchen to make it easier to place the light fixtures above. Open the plan view of the level in which you want to see the roof line. Had to crack open revit and play for a while. Base level select the level you want to underlay.

When you tried to underlay a floor only doors and windows were visible. I highlighted the roof lines that are the underlay. This issue occurs because there is an incorrect view range in the main view. If the view range intersects the geometry of a level in your main view that level cannot be used as an underlay in the main view.

Now the next step is to select the linework tool from the modify tab view panel. In the view properties expand the underlay drop down and select the level on which the roof was created to display. In the project browser open a plan view. I thought i would see what shows on the first floor view.

On the properties palette for range. So i change the underlay parameter you find this is the properties palette to the level where your roof or roof light canopy etc resides. You set an underlay by specifying a level. Select the linework tool in the view panel.
