Revit Floor Elevation Without Number

When placing spot elevations onto the surface of a floor you get a stop symbol.

Revit floor elevation without number.

If you selected relative click ok and on the properties palette select the value for relative base. A spot elevation can report elevations relative to project origin shared origin or a specified level. Under text specify a value for elevation origin. On the properties palette click edit type.

This makes total sense and allows you to trace from a referencing view through a view tag telling you which sheet and detail number that view is on and back again the viewport knows which detail number it is and which sheet is referenced from. Some hosting elements like walls. Please also note that revit can place spot elevations only along the edges of a shape edited floor. Then copy and paste the embed code into your own web page.

Ok that is what revit wants. How can i accomplish this. Use this technique create identical elements on multiple floors levels. Two of them have are blank where they should be showing the referencing sheet number the other two are showing incorrect referencing sheet numbers showing a1 1 5.

With respect to creating exterior elevation views of a building for example it is done in a floor plan view and by default revit creates a view port for which the elevation is captured and the view port exists in plan view as well. Change the visual style to hidden line or another one which shows the surface of the floor. I m wanting them to reference the elevations sheet a4 0 1 because that s where the keyplan is. This is useful for a repeating floor plan or if you d like to copy elements from one level to another as a starting point for a floor plan.

Why not use lineworks. Revit wants you to have a unique detail number for each viewport placed on a sheet. I ve got an elevations sheet with 4 elevations sheet a4 0 1. This is a good technique if you have a lot of time and want the perfect elevation but i would rather use silhouettes since they can be included in a view template and applied to every elevation in a single click.

This great post from the revit kid showcases how to use lineworks to get proper depth effect. Select elements to be copied in the active view plan section elevation or 3d view. If you are using the standard revit elevation tags a square with triangles on the side s just click on the square and drag the tag. To embed this screencast choose a size.

Add a spot elevation to a drawing and then select it. The visual style is set to wireframe or you are trying to annotate a point of face of a shape edited floor. I have found that it is best to think of the view port existing in all three dimensions simultaneously.
