Hello, My first time posting. I am a high school cadd teacher. I am trying to figure out how to put foundation walls on different layers then the upstairs wall. Whenever I click on the walls in the visibility command all walls disappear. Is there a way to put them on different levels like autocad? Jack Jenkins

Not really. Its hard to get use to but Revit does not work like autocad. The layers are hard wired, i.e. you cant place plumbing fixtures on the wall object style. There are filters and visibility settings that you can you to turn different types off and on. Try looking up view filters in the help or on here and see if that will do it for you. HTH Nick

Do get rid of the layer thought process. REVIT's method is much better. There is another point of control you can use to seperate walls like this. Use worksets. Worksets will give you the ability to use VG to turn different walls on or off. We put our exterior shell on a workset so that is all the 3d has to deal with then we will (depending on building size) put all of the interior walls on worksets by level.

I am looking at the worksets but have not figured them out yet. We have the house foundation which is 8' tall on an 8" footing on one level and then I have the garage wall, 4' high, on a 8" thick footing on another level. I want the students to print off the foundation plan. we cannot get all of the footings and walls to show up because they are on different levels. Is there away to mess levels together?

" we cannot get all of the footings and walls to show up because they are on different levels. Is there away to mess levels together?" take at look at adjusting the view range for the upper level to display the info on the lower level or create a new view where you show the info from both levels combined.

Or add a plan region(s) where you need the view to be lower.

I have been experimenting with the view range which seems to be the direction I will go. Thanks. Jack
