Excellent video as usual. One question though. I noticed that in the plan view the beams do not show up unless the cut plane is brought to their height. I tried the model line trick but it did not help for some reason.. Maybe because it is array or so?! Do you have the solution for that? I also posted this question in your doc if you ever decide to make a video on this. thanks a lot
There are a few different way to show the beams. The first one is to adjust the cut plane level in view range setting to be higher than the beams. The second one is to use underlay (probably, forgot the name, it’s in the properties) and you can see the model above with overhead line style. You can also use plan region to adjust part of the view range if you want to keep the view range for the rest of the drawing.
@@BINHE615 I guess we are on the same path. I am aware of the options you mentioned. Plan region would be maybe my first choice among them. However, I would try to avoid them all if possible. Thinking in that direction I tried to attach a model line to the beam and hide it afterward so it becomes the part of the beam that would be cut normally and the beam would show up. This generally works smoothly with single beams. However, in the case of this pergola (maybe because of the array, I don't know..), it suddenly doesn't work out. Thanks anyway.
I am not sure, maybe the invisible line was placed on the other side and was not cut by your cut plane. I do not suggest this. You can always create roof plan to show everything above, or use the Underlay setting to look up, at least you will get the correct Overhead line style.
Hi great video and tutorial. I work at a solar firm and we design systems. Sometime we need to build pergolas with purlins rather than wood for more durability. Unlike woods that are uniformly shaped, purlin has various forms. We use the C shape and G shape. The pergola roof also has an 18 degree inclination. Can this be modelled in revit? I am new to revit so I attempted to do a model for the purlin pergola and kinda mashed up a design that looks like it but defiantly did a noob design
Yes, you can load the outline profile into the beam and use sweep with that profile. Otherwise you can also model it directly in the project using columns and beams. I have another video about that approach. Have a try yourself and let me know if you still have questions.
Amazing tutorial! Thanks a lot!!
This guy!!!!

Can it because you hid it? Have you tried invisible line or reference line?
