This forum has so many profi's that it is questionable if this is new or a tip for the majority of you :). But I will take the risk to share it with you, just in case you didnt know :
1. If you wish to isolate one part of the building for better visualisation, try this:
- you wish to cut out a part of the building - so lets say its a corner of your building. Draw a short section line long as the area you wish to isolate and adjust the depth of the section to be what you want to cut out.
- go to the 3D
- from the pulldown menu View/Orient/to other view, select the section you just created
- it will bring you to the section of this corner. you might think nothing happened - but try now spinning the section (Shift and mouse wheel)- it is namely 3D and its a real cut out of the corner of the building.
This is very useful for quick observing a part of the builidng and also quite practical presentation tool.
2. you can use the same method if you wish to isolate just one floor and show it in 3D.
- go to 3D
- View/orient / To other view/select the floor you wish to isolate
- revit turns in floor plan - but again, try spinning the plan and it becomes a 3D of just that floor.
you will find attached this tip with printscreens that make it more understandable.
