Hello. I am trying to figure out the best way for us to draw in bulkheads in our projects and make them tag with our elevation tag AFF. I have read all the posts about this (which are few and far between) and have not read a good solution yet. We feel like this has to be something that others are trying to do and I was wondering if any of you had some input of how I may be able to make this work for us. We are all pretty new yet to Revit so don't be suprised if I follow up witha how to exactly if you are kind enuf to share an idea. I am going to post this the same way on Autodesk's forums too so dont be suprised if you see it there too as we really need to get this issue hammered out ASAP. Thank you all for your time in advance....

By bulkheads, I'm assuming you mean a drop down from the ceiling. If this is the case, I have been struggling with this and have found only 2 real good solutions. 1) This one may work best if you want more tagging flexibility. I have used a generic ceiling based family to literally model the bulkhead and then detail it in a drafting view. This will allow you to use a generic family tag and customize it to however you want it to look. 2) Drop some walls from the ceiling (using the base offset at the height AFF of the bulkhead) then put a ceiling between the walls. This works, is simple enough, but does not detail or join well. Renders fine, just doesn't look nice without heavy use of the linework (lw) tool. Let me know how these work out for you. Good luck!

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is never get involved in a land war in asia, but only slightly less well known is this! Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line! |

thanks for the tips. i am beginning to see that linework will be a necessity in section no matter how i do it. i wondered if a opening component could be created and a working AFF tag could be built to go with it as well. Its hard for me to beleive I am the only one tagging bulkhead heights ona RCP plan.

I hear "bulkhead" and have to switch to worldwide thinking. A bulkhead in the New England area is 2 metal doors leading to your basement from outside of the house. I call it a coffered or pan ceiling depending on the type. When I dimension to the bulkhead, I will put a section through it then dimension from where I want to where I need. Though from what it sounds like this is not what you want to do. I find this easiest because you can measure from the exact points you would like to point out. AFF or subfloor. Finished ceiling or to framing. As far as your detail lines, I would not agree 100% that you NEED to do this. I know of at least one guy on the AUGI site that says their firm will not let you use ANY detail lines.

Using the 2nd method I mentioned, you can use the ceiling tag which can include a height parameter IIRC. That tags pretty well. Not Detail Lines, guys. Lineworks Tool. :D
