How to quickly highlight civil engineering components in Revit’s 3D viewsAfter the completion of BIM model construction, it is generally necessary to display it in 3D. Display should have a focus, such as emphasizing mechanical and electrical pipelines, emphasizing air conditioning systems, or simply displaying a complex computer room. The general way is to use a section box to frame the part that needs to be displayed and save a separate view, as shown in the figure.
Many times, when expressing mechanical and electrical components, it is necessary to display their relative position relationship with civil engineering components. Displaying both civil engineering models and mechanical and electrical models simultaneously can affect the expression of mechanical and electrical effects, as shown in the figure.
At this point, let the civil engineering components fade away to highlight the comprehensive mechanical and electrical management. There are many ways, such as setting transparency for all civil components in vv visibility, as shown in the figure.
There is a simple method to avoid setting the transparency of each family category, which is convenient and effective: set the protocol to mechanical. At this time, non mechanical and electrical components are displayed in half tone, as shown in the figure.
Meaning: Through the above article, a simple technique can be used to highlight the actual situation of the main profession (mechanical and electrical), as well as reflect the position relationship of the relative profession (architecture, structure), and the operation is not very complicated.
