Floor Plan View Range per Discipline

This quick Revit Recess entry will demonstrate the fundamental View Range graphics per Discipline. From the image below we will see a simple room which contains Architectural, Structural, and MEP elements.


Below is the result of changing the Level 1 Floor Plan's View Discipline to Architectural, with the following View Range settings:
     Primary Range:
             Top Range: Level Above with 2300mm Offset
             Cut Plane: 1200mm
             Bottom Range: Unlimited
     View Depth: 
             Level: Unlimited


The result of changing the Level 1 Floor Plan's View Discipline to either Mechanical, Electrical or Plumbing, with the following View Range settings:
     Primary Range:
             Top Range: Level Above with 2300mm Offset
             Cut Plane: 1200mm
             Bottom Range: Unlimited
     View Depth: 
             Level: Unlimited


The result of changing the Level 1 Floor Plan's View Discipline to Structural, with the following View Range settings:
     Primary Range:
             Top Range: Level Above with 2300mm Offset
             Cut Plane: 1200mm
             Bottom Range: Unlimited
     View Depth: 
             Level: Unlimited

And lastly, the result of changing the Level 1 Floor Plan's View Discipline to Coordination, with the following View Range settings:
     Primary Range:
             Top Range: Level Above with 2300mm Offset
             Cut Plane: 1200mm
             Bottom Range: Unlimited
     View Depth: 
             Level: Unlimited


What can we then learn from the examples above? Create a dedicated Coordination Plan view, with the Discipline set to Coordination if any coordination needs to take place. Remember, the Coordination View Discipline is especially effective in a 3D view. Create and make use of filters to ensure turning services on and off is easy to do.
