RCP of linked arch model - show door swings?

[matt__w]

Is it possible to create an RCP of a linked view of an architect's model and show the door swings?? Because I'm not having any luck setting it up. Ideally, I'd like to have the RCP show the ceiling grids (obviously), door swings and windows in a similar fashion as on regular plan views. Thoughts?? Suggestions??

Not that I know of. Because of this issue, we ended up having to overlay 2 views on our sheets. One is the RCP with everything turned off except the ceilings, the second is a floor plan view showing all our work. Although it does seem like a bit of a pain, the printed sheets look great.

Cant you just change the cut plane height to a lower value that intersects the elements you want to display

I can't seem to get it to work with a linked view from the architect's model. Is the image you posted a linked model or drawn in the MEP model?

linked, I will upload once I get into the office in a couple of hours

I'd appreciate that. Thanks.

open the Mech file, the other file is the arch link

i do what drew said, my lighting plans are RCPs with the view range from floor to level above, with the cut plane at 1" off the floor looking up. shows everything i need to see.

It seems like the easiest solution would be to set the view range category to by host view under revit links and leave everything else set to by linked view. Then set your cut plane to 4' in the host view. That should let you see doors and windows and any annotations from the architectural model. (Spot elevations, room tags, ect)

... leave everything else set to by linked view.

I avoid linked view as I don't want to be constrained by the location of the architects annotation. If the room tag is where my grille needs to be then I want to be able to control the room tag location.

I use copy/monitor to get the grids/levels and then spaces to quickly get the room names, all in my project file.
