Revit 2012 Parts

from the new AUGI World:

HIDING PARTS

Hiding parts is the feature of parts that is the most beneficial to the structural engineering office. Consider the

example in Figure 7. When documenting the concrete

shear wall, showing the masonry veneer is typically not desired. Prior to Revit 2012, the structural engineering office

would typically only model the wall concrete core because

there was no way to separate out and hide, in this case, the

masonry veneer. This problem has been solved with parts.

Now the wall could be modeled with the true layers, and

the brick veneer could be simply hidden from the structural plan views.
