Revit Floors Showing Through Walls

This isn t an underlay nor is it a transparent floor.

Revit floors showing through walls.

What should i do if my revit does not show any ground floor level or bottom reference level in house designing. To prevent the floor or slab from being visible in plan view you need to adjust the bottom clip so that it is more than 4 feet above the floor or slab and set the view depth so that it does not include any part of the floor or slab. If you are in the level 3 plan view then the base constraint will be set to level 3. Just for future reference when placing walls revit will default the base constraint to the level of the view you are in.

If i start a new project from the revit template i don t get this behavior. If you are in a level 1 view and set the top offset to level 2 the next. As soon as you hit the floor icon you will be presented with sub options architectural. That sounds like a nasty little endless loop.

All you need to create a revit floor is a level for it to reference you do not need revit walls or columns beams etc top support the floor element. Given some walls that go from level 1 to level 2 and a floor at level 2 i have a project where these walls below show thru the floors in plan. Then change your visual style to wireframe. In plan view click view menu view properties.

The top offset will default to the last used value e g. To create a revit floor access the architecture menu the build panel and then select floor. As seen above this behavior does not occur in the wireframe visual style when using a transparent background for solid fill patterns elements below the fill will show through. The revit tool you would use to show the fittings behind the wall is on the view tab graphics panel and the tools are show hidden lines and then the opposite remove hidden lines.
