Revit 2nd Floor Plan Showing Floors Below

Use the flatten command or export to autocad to get everything at zero elevation.

Revit 2nd floor plan showing floors below.

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. So say if the 2nd floor is at 12 0. In the main floor level the bottom of the primary range is set to main floor with an offset of 1. If anything is hanging below the floor plan and it s part of revit s view range it will show up in the floor below as you ve discovered.

You need to make the first floor walls shorter than that. Check in a section to see where you levels are and in the properties panel of you floorplan to see ho far you look down from the floor level. I am showing a second floor plan of a loft space. In plan view click view menu view properties.

This issue occurs because there is an incorrect view range in the main view. Plan views can be used to manipulate how objects above or below the view range are displayed. To prevent the floor or slab from being visible in plan view you need to adjust the bottom clip so that it is more than 4 feet above the floor or slab and set the view depth so that it does not include any part of the floor or slab. The linework tool will highlight and change some objects completely which can be a problem if say part of a sofa is under the current level s floor plane and should not show up.

Sometimes you ll need to explode blocks as well. But it is hard to figure out from just 2 images. I draw a wall on the first floor plan and then i place a wall based tv mount and then i place the tv on the. Which makes sense in the real world as even if the wall goes to the up to the floor above the floor above has thickness so the wall is really going to the underside of the floor above.

I am working on a project that has a referenced revit file from an architect and i am placing some objects and for some reason i can see those objects on all three floors that are in the project. When you tried to underlay a floor only doors and windows were visible. The level of the second floorplan and ceiling are way above your first floor plan so you don t see anything with the view range you are using. I want the view depth to show the level below but the objects on the floor below should be halftone.

I don t know if this is the best spot to post this question or not but here it is. I ve seen plumbing fixtures be an issue. If a cut plane in revit architecture is intersected the display remains available until the bottom of the view range is reached.
