7 Tips and Tricks Why Revit Structure Elements are Missing or HIDDEN

Why Missing or Hidden: It is like hide and seek sometimes you are not aware you did it or surprisingly you don't.  Unless there is a plugin that pop-ups in you Revit someone who hides your modelled element. 1. Properties--> Under Structural--> Checked out or ticked the "STRUCTURAL". It depends on the discipline you are working on in the model. This happens when the 3D model element is showing but the plan and section are missing. 2. Look or Hit the Visibility Graphics? Under model categories, Annotation Categories, and Filter. It's all there for you to check and find out. For example, steel won't show a stick symbol. Check the visibility graphics, next model categories, look at the structural framing under that tick the stick symbol. 3. Reveal or un-Hide HIDDEN ELEMENTS. It's a blue bulb icon. Under the view control bar and reveals the elements you froze before. 4. Deleted or Purged. The only way you to chase the missing element is to look ...

How to Save Auto-CAD  Drawing as Read Only – is quite a difficult way to answer. The only way to answer this question is by giving different options for the user to Save Auto-CAD Drawing as Read Only. Let’s see some of them below. Save Auto-CAD Drawing as Read Only Some of the different methods are listed below please choose which is appropriate in your case. Method 1 – Use Save As Auto-CAD Drawing Files as DXF (Drawing Interchange Format, or Drawing Exchange Format is a CAD data file format developed by Autodesk), by this method you actually prevent the user to make any changes to your drawing files. Making the Drawing as Read-Only Files Method 2 – Ideally you could right click on the drawing file icon (once saved), go to properties and tick read only. Ahh, well that doesn’t “lock” the drawing or anything. they can still edit it, do a Save As, or simply unchecked the Read Only option for the file once they have it. Method 3 – In case you are on a Network, you can ...

How to Assign the Find Command to Ctrl+ F (a step by step guide) Just about every Windows application you own—Word, Excel, Notepad, your browser—uses Ctrl+F to launch Find… except AutoCAD®.  Hit Ctrl+F in AutoCAD and you get … .  Really?  Because F3 wasn’t sufficient? So let’s say we set Ctrl + F to be the Find command! How to Assign the Find Command to Ctrl + F:  Open the CUI dialog box by typing CUI at the command line.  Under Customizations in All Files, scroll down and expand Partial Customization Files, then expand Custom.  Now expand the Keyboard Shortcuts node.  Under Command List, drag the Find command up into the Customizations pane and release it next to Shortcut Keys to add it to the listing. MEMO:  If the recently added command does not initially appear in the Shortcuts pane over on the right, click OK out of the CUI, then re-open it and navigate back to the Keyboard Shortcuts node under Custom.  In the Shor...
