I am trying to figure out the best way to address elevators, especially in very tall buildings.
One option is to pull some (cleaned up) DWG stuff into a Specialty Equipment family, and just repeat on every floor.
Another option might be to put that family on the lowest floor only, then on each floor do a Plan Region in the shaft opening, that looks all the way down to the shaft floor, and thus a single set of linework is used on every floor, and alighment is guaranteed.
Another thought is to do the family and place it on the bottom of the shaft, and use the invisible line trick, with a parameter, so get the elevator system as a single family to cross the cut plane of any given floor level, and thus show its graphics. This seems to be the best approach, at least theoretically.
So, anyone have any comments or suggestions?
Thanks,
Gordon
