In the front Elevation view, add two new Reference Planes and label them as Bench Height and Plinth Height.Ĭonstrain the carcase to the Plinth Height RP. Sketch the carcase and constrain the sketch to the two side Reference Planes and the rear Reference Line.ĭimension and constrain the carcase thickness ( Keeping it simple for now ) We will now construct the carcase for the cabinet.Īdd a new Reference Plane and lbel as Carcase Depth - Type parameter. We will proceed to build a Kitchen cabinet family using the Generic Model line based template.įile > New > Family > ( Metric or Imperial ) Generic Model Line Based.rft The resulting family is placed in the same fashion as a wall - by picking two points. There are a couple of new family templates provided for creating these families -īoth new families contain a reference line with a length dimension attached to it, labeled with the instance parameter length.įamily geometry is built on this reference line and constrained to it. Revit Building 9 introduces a new family type, known as two pick families. please hold, I have a another call coming in. Help Desk : " Now finish - Click OK " and check out the 3D View "Ĭaller: " Wow - thanks - you saved me ! Now, how do I put a door in that wall.
Help Desk: " OK, enter that as the Top Offset with a negative dimension " Help Desk: " Now measure from the underside of the stair to the upper level - what do you get ? " Enter that in the Type Properties, Other. Help Desk: " OK, so the Ramp Max Slope Type property ( l/x ) should be 250 / 177.8 = 1.4060742. Help Desk: " And your Actual tread depth is. , now, from you stair properties, your Actual riser height is. you sure you know what you're doing here. same thickness as your wall "Ĭaller: " Riiight. Create a new Ramp type and sketch a ramp -like this. ): " Yes, I know - this is a work around - trust me. Help Desk: ( Calm and patient, but not as calm and patient. "Ĭaller: " Hey ! I said I wanted a wall, not a Ramp - how long have you been using Revit ? " Help Desk: " OK, first, select the Ramp tool from the modeling Tab. "Ĭaller: " Great ! I don't care what it involves - just give it to me straight " Help Desk: ( Calm and patient as always ): " Well yes, but it does involve a work-around. "Ĭaller: "Hey ! I said I need this now ! not next week ! Whadamean create named reference planes and framing elevations ! I can't believe this - there must be a simpler way ! " Now, firstly you could set up a couple of reference planes each side of the stair, making sure they don't intersect the stair, then name them, then draw detail lines aligned with each stair riser projecting out to each reference plane, then create a new framing elevation using the front named reference plane, checking that the view extents encompass the rear reference plane, then add reference planes where the detail lines intersect both the front and back reference planes. and I've got to get this project out the door, like yesterday. Hope that's not too much of a pain in the neck explanation !Ĭaller:" Hello, hello, is this the Revit Help Desk " ?Ĭaller: " Well, I've got this spiral stair and I need to put a wall under it. Sooo, to get the desired building orientation, we need to rotate the crop region in the exact opposite direction.
So effectively, we get the building maintaining its anglular relationship to the crop boundaries, and therefore appearing to rotate in the opposite direction, when the crop boundaries return to a horizontal / vertical orientation. The reason for this is that Revit snaps the crop region back to an X / Y orientation after we have completed the rotation. If we try to rotate the crop region 30 deg clockwise, this is what we get. In the example shown, we now that we want the view to be rotated 30 deg clockwise. Trouble is, every time you do that, the building appears to rotate in the opposite direction. You can select the crop region and rotate it. but eventually its going to be a pain in the neck. Turning your head to one side could work. Tilting your monitor at an angle might work ? So you have a building orientated at an acute angle to your monitor. We're just dealing with the fact that Revit does not have a UCS. Nor are we talking about rotating a view on a sheet.
We're not talking about setting Project or True North here.
#Revit view range how to#
One thing that consistently confuses new revit users, appears to be how to rotate a view.
