Jun 07, 2010 Shape Handles (Dragging Grips) and Instance Parameters. Using Instance Parameters usually means that when you load your family into your Revit project you see blue grips or arrows at the ends of the. Does this work for a generic annotation family and stretching a detail line? I can't seem to make it work. 8 October 2013 at 17:53. Autodesk Revit is an indispensable tool for architects, engineers, designers and contractors. Duplicates a view with all model items and detail items. Dimensions, or have certain elements that are visible and not visible in certain instances,.
Well, the topic pretty much sums it up.We have some linked Revit models with detail lines however they are not showing in the host files view. I have tried the view by host and view by linked. Anyone know why this might be happening?By Linked View should do it, but there are some preclusions. By Linked View shows things assuming the parts of the view in the Host Model that.arent. controlled by BLV make it possible to see the items. So if youre putting the view on Custom, instead of straight BLV, make sure the VG:RVT Link:Model:Lines and VG:RVT Link:Mode etail Items are all turned on.If youre using a straight BLV setting, check your view range. It gets wonky because detail items arent really 'work planed' since they are view specific, so im not sure entirely how you make sure they are present in the view, but i know you can.
Well, the topic pretty much sums it up.We have some linked Revit models with detail lines however they are not showing in the host files view. I have tried the view by host and view by linked. Anyone know why this might be happening?You need to go to Revit Link in VG, Select 'Custom' from Display Settings, once you do this all the Values will be Editable. The First Value is linked View which is set to none.select the exact View the detail lines are drawn. Once this is done you should be able to see it in the Master rvt.
And breathe.But seriously: It's an insult to all of us working on real projects needing to do real documentation. I have been on Revit since version 5.1 and it has been useless as long as I can remember (don't even know if there were Legends on that version, but if there were: they sucked back then too).Why are legends bad?1. You can only have a few different views: plan view, front and back elevation. How about sections? How about 3D views?2. No tagging, no way to extract data from the elements (THAT is the freaking purpose!!!)3.
NO connection to the elements actually used in the model. If an element is deleted, it will remain in the Legend. No way of counting elements.See image 1.Image1: Useless crapSo: useless crap it is. The question is: what should it be like then? There are a few options, listed in order of usability:1.
Create all Legend views you want and Tag away happily.- Create a Door schedule with 3 columns: Family and Type and Count. In the Properties screen, Sorting tab, sort by Family and Type.
Check off 'Itemize every instance'. You now have a overview of all types in the model. Now duplicate that schedule and set the Phase to 'Legend'. Set a Design Option Set called 'Legend'. Add 2 Options: 'Model' and 'Legend'. See image 5.- Duplicate a Plan View and place all elements you want to create Legends view from, somewhere outside the model's extents.
Due to the setup of the Design Options, they will not be visible in the 'normal' model views. See image 6.- Create all Legend views you want and Tag away happily.- Create a Door schedule with 3 columns: Family and Type, Mark (or any other text instance parameter) and Count. In the Properties screen, Sorting tab, sort by Family and Type and then by Mark. Check off 'Itemize every instance'. You now have a overview of all types in the model, see image 7.- Go to the Legend door, select it, fill out the Mark value as shown in image 8. All the 'normal' doors have a blank value.Image 7 shows us that there is one type in the model that does NOT have a Legend component.
This is a fast and reliable way to check whether all TYPES have Legend components. Pro's:- Legend Views with the click of a mouse button.- Total control over Legend views, tagging, and so on. As far as I'm concerned, Autodesk can delete the Legend tool all together. I will be sticking with Assemblies for Building components from now on (and Generic Annotations for anything else).HOWEVER: when you're on big projects with lots and lots of types, this solution might not work for you. Because whenever an INSTANCE parameter changes, you'll need to update all Assembly instances in the project. Which sucks big time.
It's doable on smaller projects, and it works well when you're changing type parameters. But not when changing INSTANCE parameters. And that is a shortcoming well worth noting. (off course, you could do a 'select all instances' change, but it's the principal of things)O, I added my sample files to on Revitforum.org.Happy Reviting,Mark Twain.
I'm a new user, and I cannot believe that it is impossible to tag a door in a legend, or get a simple door count.seriously WTF. The program itself is hard to use OOTB, and to learn, but to finally get to the documentation stage, and to find out that it cannot produce a window or door legend, that is linked to the project is completely and absolutely astonishing. On top of that the windows dragged on from the family editor, are not the same size as those in the job ( I don't know what ive don but they are completely different heights).I could go on (where the roof rafter generation toolkit) my I'm in total shock BIM my ass.
