HI Augi,

The problem I'm having is creating a overall plan independent of my primary plan. I'm working on revit struture 2011. I've duplicated as dependent from my primary plan, then coverted it over as a independent view, but it still keeps updating my primary plan. It doesn't create the independent view as a separate entity or plan.

How do you create an independent view of a primary plan and have it act as its own plan or entity?

Thanks

Figured it out. If you right click the primary view and duplicate it will create its own independent plan. You can use this for your overall plan and it won't effect your other views.

If you want to rotate the architectural link - turn on crop region and rotate from there and the link will rotate just for the view that you are in.

Hope this helps you guys out.

Are you wanting to use this plan to act as a key plan? (a view that will be placed on multiple sheets?)

A note about your initial question. Duplicate as dependent means the duplicated view 'depends' on the original view :-)

I'm guessing this is the same problem that I've run into. You need to have that overall plan (not a key plan) to show an overall view of the framing and areas. Rather common on structural projects. However, they are really just for reference only. So the only things you really want to show up are the grids and Grid dimensions along with modeled objects. ie no annotation to change. So really the way I set my up is to have 2 overall floor plan views. Then I use one for the actual overall and the other I create dependent views from. Now I have one overall floor plan that I basically never touch. And one that controls my dependent views.

Yes David. We had the same problem, but the only thing I couldn't quite figure out was how would I rotate the architectural link without screwing up my link in other views. I found out that you can just rotate the crop region of the architectural link to the way you want it and this would not effect any other views you had.
