Of course I will post if I get a chance to experiment with this.

Opaque Glass

I am currently as-built modeling a building with black ribbon windows with black vision glass and black opaque (spandrel type) glass.

The problem I am having, is indicating the opaque glass panel in an elevation hidden line view.
I set a grey solid fill surface pattern to the glass type but when I do that the glass appears clear in the 3D view.

So far I have gotten the appearance that I want by using Solid fill surface in black instead. It will print heavy but accomplishes the indication required in both 3d and 2d views.

I will have to fine tune this when we get closer to publishing prints.

Let Revit Do The Math

Changing locations of walls or thicknesses of elements? Don't feel like doing the math? Small fractions giving you headaches?

If you know the amount that needs to be added or subtracted you can make an equation statement that will make the change for you. For example:

Click a wall and then the dimension text you want to change to move it. Say you need to move the wall 3 5/8", place an = sign in front of the current dimension number then a + 3 5/8" after, hit enter. Revit moves the wall for you and of course updates to the correct dimension.

This method should work anywhere a measurement or thickness description can be adjusted. Experiment with it, please post where you find a limitation.
