    How do you guys deal with stairs? No matter what I've done I always see the underside of stairs which doesn't show the steps, railings, etc. if I use the RCP view on its own.

    I can NOT replicate this. I've tried creating a view template from your model, transferring and applying to mine and this is what I get....RCP_Fail.PNG

    I'm at a loss.

    After some more digging into the models, it's the DOOR FAMILY that's the culprit. I copied/pasted your door into my model and *POOF!* Door swings!! Thanks for your help (and patience).

    Does that mean that the symbolic linework was missing from the RCP view in the door family? can you upload the door so I can see the linework please (just curiosity)

    The swing shows in a plan view. I can't edit the door family - the Edit Family command is disabled for this family. I think it came from an older Revit sample model.

    as a last resort, maybe make a floorplan view of each level with only doorswings showing (maybe windows too if they weren't working either), and overlay it on your sheet with the rcp lighting plan

    I could see the ideal solution being making a view for each category (perhaps even sub category's like Door Frame/Mullion) and loading them all together on a sheet

    just kidding

    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)

    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.

    Have the architect make Background views strictly for your backgrounds. These views look identical to their plans/ceiling plans, only difference being,
    1. RCP's Cut plane is lower to show doors and windows for T-Stats, Exit Signs, Light switches, etc.
    2. Annotation Categories is turned off in those Background views. Space/Room tags you place yourself.
    3. All MEP Elements are also turned off in this view (not sure if Lights in both models is part of your workflow)

    A really cool thing by having a linked view is the background looks identical to their plans (if it doesn't it's their faullt!! lol), yet when you need a lower cut plane to display MEP elements, you can adjust it in Revit Links>View Range>By Host View and the architecture stays the same but your element that wasn't showing, does now. This is really important especially for plumbing, when you need to see Piping under slab but you do not want to see the Rated Walls from the level beneath that extend up to slab.
