Adjusting Reinforcing Visibility (3:10)

00:05

PRESENTER: To be honest, we don't want

00:07

to see Rebar in most views.

00:09

It gets annoying fast and can share ugly

00:11

up a set of drawings.

00:13

What I'd like to do in this video

00:14

is show how we can look at Rebar in different views

00:18

and actually not look at Rebar in different views.

00:21

So in Revit, let's go to our section footing 13.

00:29

Select your column that the Rebar's in.

00:33

Hold down your Control key and select the footing

00:36

that your Rebar is in.

00:38

On the View panel, click the Section Box button.

00:44

Kind of neat, but what we're going to see

00:46

is if we had Escape a couple of times,

00:49

we don't see that reinforcing, right?

00:53

So what we can do is let's go ahead

00:55

and set our visual style to wireframe.

01:02

Let's set our scale to

01:07

Now, hold on your Control key and start selecting these bars

01:12

that we had placed.

01:24

I go through and select all of these.

01:31

Here we go.

01:35

Now that all those bars are selected, what we want to do

01:38

is we're going to come down the Graphics View Visibility

01:41

States.

01:41

Now, let's click Edit.

01:45

Here we go.

01:45

Now, view unobscured view as solid.

01:50

Now our 3D view that we're in happens

01:52

to be 3D view 3D, right?

01:57

So if we go down to 3D view 3D, let's select View Unobscured

02:03

and view as solid.

02:07

Click OK.

02:11

Now, if you hit Escape a couple of times,

02:15

let's set our visual style back to shaded.

02:21

Notice now that we can see all of that reinforcing.

02:28

Now, we can see that perhaps we select this bar here,

02:34

we set our layout rule instead of single,

02:36

we're going to go fixed number, quantity will be 3.

02:41

It's going to add it.

02:43

Or if we want to do maximum spacing,

02:47

spacing will be 1 foot.

02:55

We can set our view to realistic.

02:58

It's still going to show up.

03:03

So that looks a lot better.

03:04

We can drag that onto a sheet and we're all set.

03:06

It's pretty cool looking isometric.
