Excuse me, I understand that when talking about shared coordinates, reference is made to the survey point. At minute 2:41 you said "project point", I imagine you meant survey point. I would have liked to have seen the survey point activated in this video. Just for clarification, in the first case you showed, was the survey point in the same place as the project base point? Your answer would help me a lot.
Note: After creating the viewport with MVIEW, he quickly switches to model space with MSPACE before the zoom. He says it out loud, but it happens quickly, so I missed it the first time.
Hello, I have the Polish version of AutoCAD 2024 and Lisp does not work for me. Please help. Is it related to the fact that I have AutoCAD in a version other than Polish?
Fantastic video thankyou, can I ask is there a way to show this on Bondek slabs aswell? i have framing members that support the bondek slab that are in the same plane as the walls under, but the walls under are showing ontop of the framing members, which means you can't see the framing members that are supporting the slab over.
I have a floor plan and i want to put water and sewer in it. I referenced to them my floor plan, but I want to get all the installation back to my floor plan. But if I reference water on it for example I will get my floor plan as well onto my floor plan. How do I fix this? I want them to have my floor plan if I change something, and I want to have all the installations as well.
@@TheArtofTechnicalDrawing what do you mean multiple xrefs? The problem is if I reference water to my floor plan I would also get the floor plan twice, the original floor plan and then as a reference as well? Is there a way to avoid that?
Great video! Thank you! Another possible solution is an idea variation that I learned from The Revit Kid's Channel. You can create an instance Project Parameter for walls and/or columns in order to define the level. For example, the Project Parameter for columns would be a text instance parameter, so you can label all columns at level 2 as "Level 2", likewise, for all other levels. Now, at each plan, you can set up a filter to find columns above and columns below by filtering for the proper column level. You can then assign whatever hatch or fill you want in your filter. This approach would require your cut plane above the floor and view range deep enough to see the lower column. 100% Transparency would be required for the upper column hatch. Thank you again for this helpful video!
One more thought. If one does not like the idea of manually labeling column levels you can set up a a Dynamo program to do this automatically. As a reference, please see the linked video from The Revit Kid that shows how to sort walls by story and how to set up the Dynamo: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MNnnk-_zv08.html
Why use Generic Model instead of normal Model Line in the project? In the video, you've said it is because you can control the height, what do you mean by that? can you just control the normal Model Line Height? This is genuine questions for understading better the Revit process, thank your for your time, and again, awesome video!
Yeah, it works ok for very simple routines, but unfortunately, it isn't as useful on progams that need to do more than a simple task. I've had it use statements that just don't exist and spend as much time troubleahooting as writing in the first place.
old CAD-guy (since '82) here with a tip for young Designers: think about alternatives to the greedy "cad monster". I've been using ActCAD!! So much like ACAD you'll not notice any difference :-) And, at $299/lifetime is it really worth "pirating" a so-called ACAD "license"? (don't lie) naaaaa.... And now, with AI-empowering ActCAD, too, well...win:win for YOU!! :-) Buona fortuna, kids!!
Unforunately drawing presentation is seen as an afterthough, & little wonder we get queries from our manufacturers daily. Half my team don't even know about AS1100, & i'm the youngest there........
G'day King Rooster - thanks for the great vids - as a half deaf old bugger beginner the home accent is a little easier to follow ......... your mates at civil solutions have removed their LISP files for drawing long sections. Any chance you have one similar you could share. Thanks Steve
Thank you for the walkthrough. One quick suggestion I would make is to add your boundary as a "Data Clip" boundary before importing the surface data. An outer boundary just hides the data, but still processes it. A data clip boundary will completely ignore any data outside the boundary. This can save you a lot of time and hassle if the import data is significantly large.
Bing said "I cannot write an AutoCAD LISP for you." several times, grrr. Went directly to ChatGPT and got it done and the code it produced is shorter but still worked.
I also use this 'work around' however it is as others have mntioned below prone to problems particularly now in Revit 2023 where printing processing has changed.
Not having a decent robust clean method to show load bearing under is the worst thing about Revit. AutoCAD does this better as you can overlay a xref from under. We just don’t get why Autodesk can’t add a tool and make it work similar.
