Advice please? We use Navisworks to review MEP services internally (as its easier to 'fly' through than in Revit). I have set material/colours to pipes and ducts for each service as Navisworks uses this in its export. Is there a way that the same principle can be applied to Containment so I can apply a colour depending on the service its used for (Fire, LV Power etc)? Or is there an alternative family that i can use where you can apply a material to? Any advice would be appreciated ..read more

Hi, Is there a way to modify how Revit is showing calculation points from ElumTools? In attached file you can see that the points are very dense. When I print the whole level the image will be blurred. I don't want to reduce the the calculation points in "Edit Points", I'm looking for a solution to not show all points when I press "View/Hide Results ..read more

Revit Users, I was trying to figure out if you can put in a pre-adjusted height in the crop box for a SECTION VIEW? Every time I run the command for this particular job that has a few floors the section box is populated with similar to a 20 floor crop region. I can just adjust, but if there is a way to populate a smaller crop region that would save me a little time. Any kind of feed back would be a big help and greatly appreciated. My end goal is to adjust the height of a section view without it populating a high crop region that I have to adjust quite a bit. Thanks ..read more

Hi you guys. I m working at fire detection family, but i can't do the same mask at the annotation i've done in the outlets family. In the outlets family i used a region mask to hide my conduits that pass near the annotation, this way i can show my symbol just right in the floor plan sheet. Outlet family (working proprely) Link to the outlet (larger than 2mb) : https://we.tl/t-eQrzlKsGBe But when i try the same method in my fire detection family it just don't show de symbol right. Fire detection (with region mask, not showing the annotation) If i don't use the mask it just show the condu ..read more

I had a louver that was not showing properly in a section cut within a project, and I couldn't figure it out, so I downloaded another model from Greenheck. Ran into the same issue. Moved it to a new project with almost nothing in it and created sections (one section then another copied/pasted aligned same place & flipped) and had the same issue (pic 1). I figured I'd try changing the family category; the visibility was much better(pic 2). Does this always happen with Air Terminals? Why? Can it be fixed? pic1: ​​pic2: ​​​​original download ..read more

Hello.
