structural plan underlays

[J-G]

What are others doing for their structural plan...more specifically framing plans. I have roof plan and use an underlay floor plan with everthing except for the walls turned off. This works fine, but I don't see an option for turning off the non structural walls. You can do it on floor plans, but it Revit seems to use underlays based on levels rather seperate plan views. I also tried creating a plan view with dashed structural walls and headers called out, with the intention of placing both the roof and floor views ontop of each other on the sheet....but the display didn't work so well. Either the roof plan (hidden line) would cover the entire overlayed floor plan, or it would show the walls cut off at the top.

Basically I am just looking for a quick way to show only structural walls under my framing plans.

Strangely, revit does allow walls to be defined as bearing, non- bearing, shear and combined structural, but despite that, does not allow view filtering for these types.

You can create a new sub-category for walls called non-structural, for example, but there is no way that I know, to assign that sub-category to the wall type, since walls are "hard - wired families"

So, not much help, just some clarification.

If you created a plan view with the structural walls & headers shown as dashed lines by using the linework tool, try copying & pasting aligned, the lines you created in this view into your framing plan view, rather than placing this view on top of your framing plan view on the sheet.
