    Default 2013 Revit Sturcture Underlay does not work

    Our office just moved to 2013 Revit structure and we are experiencing issue with underlay function. In 2012 revit, architectural models when set as underlay and will show up under the structural model. With new revision linked model set to underlay hides behind the structural slab and would not show up as in previous version of revit. Any help is appreciated.

    Hi, have you set your 'view descipline' to 'coordination?

    Stephen, When setting a structural view to coordination, you lose a lot of the important structural info (dashed lines for anything below the slab). We need to print out our plan with the architectural background turned on for a meeting. This feature worked much better in 2012.

    Have there been any updates to this? I agree that you lose too much information required for a structural plan to set the discipline to "Coordination". We print the architectural plan half-toned behind the structure plan for two reasons - 1) it allows someone with paper drawings to figure out where in the building you are if you do not have the grid locations and 2) our clients REQUIRE it. Since Autodesk changed the way underlay works, we now have to explain to our clients that the software is not capable of doing what they require and we have been doing for 20+ years. Why the change???

    IMHO, they broke it for 2012. Just like a bunch of other stuff. For example, model some rebar, cut a section, and look at it. If you have any other links loaded, all you see is the outline and the fill pattern goes away. Same thing with connection symbols on beams. They print ok, but are a pain to work with when detailing. The underlay things is a bigger issue. But you're aren't experiencing something unique. Adesk broke and most likely won't fix it until 2014. But they also broke schedule that filter by shared parameter. But hey, who's counting.

    I agree, it is a huge error in revit the 2013.
    we had the same problem as you in our company, and the only way we could find around the problem was to make our buildingparts Transparent.
    But i really hope that this Colossus error will be corrected in 2014..... !!!!!
    Hope that it was usefull
