To prevent the floor or slab from being visible in plan view you need to adjust the bottom clip so that it is more than 4 feet above the floor or slab and set the view depth so that it does not include any part of the floor or slab.
A grey filled wall on revit floor plan.
Click annotate tabcolor fill panel legend.
Revit offers a lot of control over what is displayed.
Hi all still working on the schematic design and we want our existing walls to be shaded grey and the new walls to be shaded black.
One containing the exterior finish the other containing the rest of the wall.
If you had a masonry wall you might want the cut pattern to reflect that.
I then went into v g to override the cut pattern to solid grey.
In the choose space type and color scheme dialog select the space type and color scheme and click ok.
Open a floor plan view or section view.
In this case you should model two separate walls.
If i create a filter to show existing and new revit considers everything from phase 1 phase 6 to be existing.
In the new plan we add the new exterior finish that display as white over the existing grey wall.
Then set the exterior finish to be demolished.
Click the edit button for the view range.
Place the color fill legend anywhere in the drawing area to describe the color scheme used in the view.
One option to accomplish this would be to create existing wall types and those could have a gray solid fill.
But i only want to gray out the walls of the existing building.
Architects like to show walls solid filled and you can do this using the coarse filled parameter inside of a revit wall type.
I ve got the plans phased and on the existing phase the existing walls are filled black but on the new they show up as outlined.
Click in the drawing area to place the color fill legend.
Material patterns can be a lot of fun as i show in the screenshot to the right.
In plan view click view menu view properties.
In a default project walls have no fill pattern so in your section your walls will have a white fill when printed.
