Revit Roof Plan Underlay

Select the linework tool in the view panel on the home ribbon.

Revit roof plan underlay. When i draw a roof plan i keep the level below on as an underlay which is automatic when opening the roof view. This issue occurs because there is an incorrect view range in the main view. Use the underlay parameters on the properties palette to set an underlay. 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.

1 st floor no overhang. In the project browser open a plan view. On the properties. So i change the underlay parameter you find this is the properties palette to the level where your roof or roof light canopy etc resides.

Plumbing fixtures appliances etc but now in 2019 i am unable to select anything in the underlay. This makes the roof line visible in the plan view but the lines appear as solid lines. In the main floor level the bottom of the primary range is set to main floor with an offset of 1. When you tried to underlay a floor only doors and windows were visible.

3d view of roof begin by opening the plan view in which you want to see the roof line overhang as a hidden line. Create an underlay when you need to understand the relationship of components at different levels for coordination and construction. Now it s at this point where i could just trace over the perimeter. Walls doors windows nothing is select able.

In the properties dialog box for the view you want to see the overhang lines in set the underlay drop down to be the level on which the roof was created. In other words using a level above as a reference for a lower level. In this example my roof element is at level 1.

Revit displays the modify linework contextual ribbon. For example you may want to set an underlay for the casework in the kitchen to make it easier to place the light fixtures above. But up until i upgraded to revit 2019 i always selected items in the underlay that i didn t want to show up and hid them. Once i do this my roof element become visible in the ground floor plan.
