where is the cut plane for Forge levels extension?


for Forge Autodesk.AEC.LevelsExtension, where is the cut plane? looks like it doesn't follow the view range in Revit?


Solution

  • Appended to what Cyrille mentioned.

    Revit's AEC model data will be generated automatically during the Forge translation. The level info is dumping from Revit Level elements, e.g., the name, guid, elevations, extensions of the Revit Level which you can see with Revit API. The Levels extension just uses it to rebuild level ranges.

    For example, the cutting range of level 1 will be from level1's elevation to (level2's elevation - a height adjustment) with my research. The height adjustment is to avoid cutting on top of floors to brining a better view. So, it's not following Revit's view range of the floor plan view.

    If the levels extension doesn't match your need, you may check out my level section tool. This sample demonstrates the concept of how to create cut planes by levels.
