Interior elevation tags - visibility

[sbrown]

has anyone figured out a way to turn off interior elevation symbols on floor plans and leave the exterior ones on?

Try this.
Select the interior elevation symbol by the circle, Then right click and in the menu select Hide Annotation in View.
Worked for me

In the past I have done this using Phases. I haven't explored it yet but could this be done now with the Filters tool in Ver 9 ?

The hide annotation is what I want to avoid as we have hundreds of interior elevations on a job and its very time consuming to right click on every floor plan in the set they appear on. I don't think filters works but if someone knows how please explain it to me.

We worked out a workable kludgy workaround - created a new tag where the lines were white and the text really tiny. That way we could have some tags showing by using the original tag. Later, finding them all was relatively easy by "selecting all instances" and changing them all at once.

Some time ago I had asked about the workaround for the exterior elevations and I was told to try the section and modify it.

Well the section has the pull down that you can select the coarsest view to show it at. So if you want most of your interior elevations are on 1/4" scale plan for example you can make them sections and make them not show on scales coarser than 1/4".

Hopefully that helps....then again it sounds like you already have the elevation tags in the model.

Good wish list item though: 'Hide in scales coarser than' for elevation tags

Have not looked at it, but would it be possible to make an internal elevation that hides at certain scales, like sections.

Our firm is using a condo project as the test project for Revit. In the drawings I need to include interior elevations for kitchens and bathrooms. I followed the suggestion to use a section tag with no tail instead of an elevation tag and had no problem creating one interior elevation.
But I ran into a problem when I realized I needed three elevations, tagged by the same tag (like the one attached). The only workaround I could figure out was to place the tags on top of each other, each pointing to a different view. Does anyone have any suggestions for a more efficient method to do this?

These are all long standing problems with the elevation symbol which has remained unchanged as long as I have been using Revit. New users often ask me how to edit the Elevation symbol and control it. I remember the same frustration when I attempted the same thing.

I know this is on the wish list but it really is time to update the elevation and bring it in line with the other Revit tools
