Thanks a lot for the video. I have few difficulties though. How to set visibility in the way that in 3D i have pile representation in its full volume, and at the same time to have cut symbol in sections? I cant manage to mask the pile in front side view. Also I would like to know i there way to have symbolic cut representation in non orthogonal sections (non front/back or left/right section orientation)? Thanks
Hi Lawrence i have a Pile family as yours , but it nested to pile cap. When i change pile visibility it behaves like model element change at every place how i can solve this
Hi Lawrence thank you for the video, I've found it very useful. However are you planning to release another video linking into this one with further explanation of the detail component creation and visibility settings as there is very little information for the process of how this created and the implemented. Thanks
Hi, I am currently working on some further piling videos. The first to be prepared will be on secant and contiguous piling which also includes family creation techniques.
@@RevitStructureBlog you're a Gentleman! Thank you very much for taking time out to make these videos, they're very much appreciated and really help to fill in the blanks with the automation with REVIT.
Hi there, thanks for the video. I've got a question. At 7:13 in the video you talked about a detail component and the visibility parameter. Problem is when you build the family like you did in the video and in your project you turn of the visibility of the pile it self then the pile will not be visible in the entire project. So also not in the 3D views. That's not desirable. How do you cope with that?
Hi, you can just rely on the masking region in the detail component which will hide the pile. Another option is to set up some sub categories. I do want to create some more of these types of video showing some family creation techniques.
Creating Face Based was successful, but when I tried to create a Pile-Cap (Foundation) family and nest these Piles into the Pile Cap, I am not able to view the Hidden lines etc. in the main model Please help. Thanks
Does pile drives cut-off in host or it works different, like you've created void extrusion in concrete host, which if you change diameter of pile should change its diameter as well, is this pile parametric?
You 'cut' the piles from the cap. Using this method, the piles will automatically cut the rebate. The only criteria is that piles are a different material to the cap.
@@RevitStructureBlog Thank you, i've done all, now i need to do filter and it is going to be it....thank you for video and sharing.....update: spend whole day with filtering and found out that just changing visual style got me the same result.....
Thanks Lawrence for the clever method.
Excellent ... cant wait.
Kind of advanced content for me but amazing. Do you have any tutorial teaching how to set the pile family?

does anyone know how to do this, but with helical piles and rebar coupling for a UC column?

can you make a video explaining step by step?
Hi there, how to add the breakline symbol, do you need to add as parameter? Thanks
You will just nest the breakline symbol to the Pile family and then control the detail component with parameters from the 3D pile

I have a revit pile family and Revit doesn't allow me to pick the individual piles, what might be the reason please?
It will likely be that your piles are not 'nested' into the pile cap family. You need to next the piles
Hi you. Can you share your family to me learn about it.
The tutorial takes you through the creation of the family so you should be able to create this yourself
@@RevitStructureBlog yes. Thank you
