elevation tag samples

[frame]

So, I am currently exploring the concept of elevation symbols here at the factory (I know, I know....finally!), and am looking for examples.

Specifically:
Interior Tags that reference more that 4 views
A variety of graphic styles/conventions (interior and exterior)
Interior tags that refer to multiple views, where the views might be on separate sheets
Elevations with a "jog" in them (where front clip plane varies in depth)
Elevation tags in other elevations/section views

Many thanks in advance!

How does that saying go??

You can please some of the people some of the time....

Except he can't please any of us unless we give him (or her) some examples. I should be one to talk, but unfortunately I don't have any good examples and all I can say is YES! I do want all that functionality. Hopefully some other folks from my firm will have examples to post.

Well here are some examples of what we do / have done. I have attached both our exterior and interior elevation standards. I tend to think that for the interior elevations we will use your current round as our new standard, but It would be nice if we could use the attached if we so choose.

Thanks,
Mike

Frame,
are you working exclusively on graphics? One thing we have run into recently is the need to seperate Interior and Exterior Elevation symbols. Basically we want the Exterior symbols to show up on the 1/8" and 1/16" plans, but the Interior symbols show up on the Enlarged Plans. As far as I can tell Revit sees no difference between the two types of Elevation, and that would be a very useful differentiation. I have some other wish list items along the lines of functional changes in sections, elevations, details, etc. I can forward them to you if appropriate.

Thank!
Gordon

I think Gordon brings up a good point, it might be nice to be able to have subcategories within the elevation category (you should be able to now with section symbols as you can create your own). In any case the ability to filter views or something like that could prove useful as a means to help control what view symbols show up in various drawings. As far as your specific case Gordon, I think the new functionality in version 9.1 should help, as you can now have elevations symbols hide themselves at "scales coarser than".

Gordon,

Feel free to send me more details, and thanks for the feedback.

From my point of view, looking at the 'graphic' symbol only, really it just needs to have the same amount of adjustability/ editibility as section markers do...then Im happy!

Here's one from our AutoCAD days that some in our office would like to have: Combo interior elevation/room tag. Also, our elevation/section symbols from AutoCAD, based on Graphic Standards.

Scott:

Thanks for the examples. The combo room+sheet label is a great one to consider.
Just the kind of thing i'm hoping to uncover.
