Graphic solution at fire rated walls.

[Dimitri Harvalias]

I know it's been said before but all we need is some way of embedding a line into a wall style and having display control over it independant of the rest of the wall. If we get that then the rest becomes moot, right?

[dbaldacchino]

Yep, as long as we have a line that behaves like a polyline in ADT (accepts thickness rather than just lineweight). Otherwise I guess it could be based on using some sort of user defined annotation family.

I believe this issue may be resolved in Revit 2008, because we can control the filters in the specific views. In order to control where the hatched areas are in the walls, you can control the "fire rating" parameter of each wall types and then create a visibility filter for each rating.

It seems like this solution will work for me (creating a filter override for the cut pattern in 200. However, I'm having trouble with the hatches. I downloaded the ones that were posted earlier in this thread, but they just show up as solid. My guess is that there's something up with the scale - but I don't know how to fix it. My views are at 1/16". I've attached an example of one wall using the same methodology I did in my project.

In your case if you go to the properties of the wall you will see that nothing has been assigned to "Fire Rating". Change the Fire Rating properties of this wall to be 1 Hour and the override should show you the correct hatch pattern. This is because you are using Filters and have set the override to look for "1 Hour" under the Fire Rating of the wall.

I already have that set up. If you turn off the filter it shows the standard wall hatch pattern, but when you turn on the filter the hatch is just solid.

Couple problems with the filter solution:
1. Pattern will not align with the element
2. For some reason it turns to a solid fill, if you turn on thin lines you can see the hatch as it would normally appear, turn off thin lines and it goes solid...very odd

[dgraue]

This is odd. When I opened up your file the first time and drew a wall I simply assigned "1 Hour" to the fire rating and the hatch was correct. Now that I am trying to recreate it, the wall will only show the hatch as a solid. Hmmm.

I'm having the same problem... not sure whats going on...

[Matt H]

I found the problem... It was the Hatch... In the settings menu...Go to Fill Patterns...Edit the 1-Hour.. Set Orientation with Host Object to "Align with Element"

Should work then! As least i hope so... hahaha
