Description
Applies a detail level setting to the view scale: coarse, medium, or fine. This setting
overrides the automatic detail level setting for the view. When you apply a detail level
to a view, you enable the visibility of certain types of geometry:
The compound structure of walls, floors, and roofs displays at medium and fine
detail levels.
Family geometry changes depending on the detail levels.
Structural framing changes depending on detail level. At coarse levels, it appears
as lines. At medium and fine levels, it displays with more geometry.
Click Edit to access the Visibility/Graphics dialog.
Changes the display to Hidden Line, Wireframe, Shading, or Shading with Edges. See
Model Graphics Styles on page 250.
Click Edit to access the Graphic Display Options dialog, which controls shadows and
silhouette lines. See Model Graphics Styles
Displays another slice of the model under the current plan view. That slice of the
model can be from above or below the current level. The underlay appears dimmed
and is visible even in hidden line. The underlay is useful to understand the relation
of components on different floors. Normally, you would turn off the underlay before
exporting or printing the view. You set an underlay by specifying a level. The slice of
the model between that level and the next level up displays. Three of the underlay
options (Current Level, Level Above, and Level Below) are relative to the current level.
All other choices are absolute. See
TIP A level that is actually higher than the current level can be the underlay view.
For example, the basement level could have Level 2 as its underlay.
Controls the display of the underlay in Hidden Line mode. If the value is specified as
Plan, then the underlay displays as if you are viewing it from above, like a plan view.
If the value is specified as Reflected Ceiling Plan, then the underlay displays as if you
are viewing it from below, like a reflected ceiling plan.
Switches the orientation of the project in the view between Project North and True
North. See Project Location and Orientation
Sets the default behavior for cleaning wall joins. If you set this property to Clean All
Wall Joins, then Revit Architecture automatically cleans all wall joins. If you set this
property to Clean Same Type Wall Joins, Revit Architecture only cleans wall joins of
the same wall type. If you join different wall types, Revit Architecture does not clean
them. You can override this setting using the Edit Wall Joins tool.
Specify the discipline for the project view, Architectural, Structural, or Coordination.
The discipline specified determines the organization of views in the Project Browser.
Coordination combines Architectural and Structural. Select Structural to hide non-
load-bearing walls from the view.
In a floor plan view or section view, select Background to apply the color scheme to
the background of the view (the floors of a floor plan, or the background walls of a
section). Select Foreground to apply the color scheme to all model elements in the
view. See Applying a Color Scheme
