Revit Drain Is Showing In Section But Not Floor Plan

1 the structural column spans more than 1 floor 2 and the detail view is taken from any of the intermediate floors.

Revit drain is showing in section but not floor plan.

A plan section elevation or detail view will only show in the list if it is cropped this caught me out at first. The answer to this problem lies in the type of call out that you choose to use. Type zf to zoom to fit. I have cut a section through the space and behold the room is visible in section.

In a section or elevation view verify the clip plane depth. All the other rooms on this floor are visible. I have checked worksets phasing design options hidden elements plan regions etc. People who are new to revit are always having issues seeing everything in a project view.

See change the clip plane in an elevation view and about section view width and depth. I have deleted the room from the schedule and replaced it still not visible in plan. Once you click on the callout button command the type selector drop down allows you to choose the type of callout you should choose floor plan and not detail view. Incidentally other instances of the same family were showing up fine in other detail views.

There are three things to consider when placing a floor drain in a floor the first thing is do you want the floor to actually slope down to the floor drain technically you may be able to just use line work and notes to indicate that the floor s sloping down to a certain point but for this model let s slope the floor to the actual floor drain the second thing to consider. Show mass form and floors is not turned on or the view is zoomed in too close to the mass. A drafting view cannot be cropped so the above rule does not apply. After some irritating moments it looks like revit does not show structural columns in detail views if.

If the element is part of a design option check the visibility settings of design options in the view. Click massing site tabconceptual mass panelshow mass form and floors. I guess it s the autocad mentality that is so hard to shake at first. Floor plan or detail view.
