And now i need to set it s underlay to show the roof element.
Revit show single line for roof hidden above.
Then you can override the line property of each segment that you want to show as hidden.
Lol but i noticed when i put the model in 3d view the pipe lines show up as single lines but the duct and everything else shows up as actual 3d.
First of all i need to open the ground floor plan.
Here are some facts that may help in explaining how to show beams which are above.
The linetype called overhead is just a standard linetype like hidden or thin lines.
Manage additional settings line styles and select beyond.
In residential architecture as well as other types it is often a required part of the working drawing set to be able to show the roof overhang as a hidden line on the floor plan views.
So let s say i want to show the outline of the roof on my ground floor plan.
If hidden lines do not display as expected check the view range.
Ceiling plan views only look up.
Some may call this wysiwyg or what you see is what you get.
This makes the roof line visible in the plan view but the lines appear as solid lines.
The top range of the view range dialog box is only there to establish how high the cut plan can go.
Revit will not detect things overhead.
In the view properties expand the underlay drop down and select the level on which the roof was created to display as an underlay.
Floorlan views only look down.
Simply highlight the segment you want to show as hidden right click and select override by element.
The model is already previously drawn by someone that actually knows what theyre doing.
Open the plan view of the level in which you want to see the roof line.
Out of the box revit doesn t do this because revit shows it as it s built.
Here is my simple building a single storey building with an overhanging pitched roof.
You may need to extend the view range to include objects whose hidden lines you want to show or reduce the view range to exclude objects whose hidden lines you do not want to display.
Define the display settings for projection lines using the object styles or the override graphics in view functions in revit.
In order to enable different view representations make sure that the option show family pre cut in plan views in the structural beam family is unchecked.
If your convention is to always show all foundations as hidden or dashed in a plan view i suggest making a view template for your plan views that has the structural foundation category overridden.
Follow these steps in order to get the desired display.
