I've been using Revit for a few years now. I've delivered a handful of projects using it. I can make flexing families, use parameters, make a dot matrix door schedule by programming calculated values into the schedule....
I can't understand how underlay is supposed to work.
It's never a useful view.
It seems to me like it's a different level's plan, shown using the cut plane and upper/lower limits of the view you're showing the underlay in.
Why isn't underlay just an underlay of another view, exactly as that view shows natively? This is what I need. Not, ....whatever it's doing now.
I know, I know, "why don't you just put two views over each other on a sheet?" - because that means I have to go make a junk sheet somewhere, when I could have a tool to just overlay views.... you know, like mylar.
Ok, for those of you with hair, Mylar is a transparent plastic film that Architects used to draw on. It's how AutoCAD got layers.
