• Countertops and stairs are shown directly. If you made them with slabs, did you CHECK-OFF Cover fills in the Info/Settings box so they will show? Can't get the ceiling materials to show a fill above the cut plane. Here are the settings as defgault in Revit for our sample Reflected Ceiling Plan. It is tempting to show roofs on A Roof2, but I think this makes the drawing too busy, and the graphic override rule turns the cut lines dashed, which looks idiotic. Use the accessory to automatically outline the hole in a ceiling slab, while not showing the edge. Thanks. RCP Beam: Not needed at all, unless you need the cover fill in RCP feature. (Example: How can I model a Roof soffit/fascia?). Note the Cut Plane (and by association, the view Bottom) are @ 200mm above the reference level, which is to high to intersect with Doors and Windows, hence htey are not visible. In other words, is there a way to have soffits show up as dotted lines on and Arch Plan, yet have those same lines become solid when in the Reflected ceiling state? Once we turn that layer on to see the counters with a dashed line type, this is what else happens: • The base cabinets are showing, with the same dashed line type as the counters. • To show countertops and stairs, you have to trace them with lines on the +A RCP Line layer. Hey, the outlines only setting did the trick. This looks cluttered and confusing. Note: Switch the Stair’s display by view, using Model View Options. Get help. The RCP has long been a frustrating form of output if you're trying to minimize drawing. Now, with graphic overrides, we can choose any kind of element and say, draw it with a dashed line type instead of solid. Graphic overrides greatly expand the number of ways an element can represent itself in different kinds of documentation. I have the cut plane set to offset 12 feet up, which should be adequate to include the roof, but no dice. ArchiCAD's gonna ask me what's the name of this new 3D document, so I'm gonna call it RCP 01, ground floor reflected ceiling plan, so ground floor RCP. • To show beams, ceilings, and soffits as solid, you have to either trace them with solid lines on +A RCP Line, or model them with objects that are ceiling switch-aware. A graphic override rule changes their line type to solid. Am trying to show different ceiling textures in RCP. So we need F Cabinet Base, hidden in RCP. These elements are placed with a solid line in the floor plan. A side effect of this improved method is that we need to fork the F Cabs2 layer into four new layers. Reflected Ceiling Plan Changes in Archicad 20. New layers tend to happen when a new documentation type or working method forces us to recognize the difference between things we used to be able to treat the same. If you want to show dashed decks in the RCP, update the layer combination.). This means less redundant 'drawing', and more unity. The Reflected Ceiling Plan Is Not a Mirrored Reflection of the Floor Plan. • To show roof overhangs and clip lines in the ceiling, you have to draw two sets of lines, one dashed on A Ceiling2, and one solid on +A RCP Line. constant variables for "iSymbolType2D" PLANSYMB_REALISTIC = 1 PLANSYMB_ELECTRIC = 2 PLANSYMB_RCP = 3 PLANSYMB_BY_MVO = 4 In Parameter script, set up the value list for the "iSymbolType2D" parameter: This means less redundant 'drawing', and more unity. RCP Overhead Solid: All elements on the layers A Ceiling2, A Soffit2, and F Cabinet Upper are drawn with a solid line. So we need F Cabinet Upper, shown in RCP with a solid line override rule. The layer A Ceiling All is probably not needed any longer. The materials have fills assigned, but no show.. In that case, put the slab on A Soffit3, and use the accessory to show just the hole on A Soffit2. A reflected ceiling plan (RCP) is a print that shows you the dimensions, materials, and other key information about the ceiling of each of the rooms represented on your blueprint.It takes its name from the idea that you are looking down at the ceiling as though there were a mirror on the floor reflecting the ceiling’s plan back to you. It is still a good name for the layer of 3D-only parts of cabinets. When F Cabs2 was hidden in RCP, we could treat counters, base cabinets, upper cabinets, and shelves the same. • Bookshelves and pantry shelves are showing, which they should, but they should not be dashed. They all showed in floor plan, and they were all hidden in RCP. Ceiling Line Accessory: Needed less, and not needed at all to change line type, but still useful. • F Cabs3 can stay. If you modify the model elements, you have to modify the lines. This is a “reflected ceiling plan” and it is exactly what it sounds like … a view of the ceiling looking down as if there was a mirror on the floor reflecting the plan back at you. Generally, ceiling elements can be placed on A Soffit2 or A Ceiling2 and the overrides will make them work. To support these changes, these layers are now shown in the RCP layer combination: F Cabs2, A Stair2, A Soffit2, A Ceiling2. Make the roof Outline Only instead of Projected. Stay informed. Each Stair has two groups of settings, defining display preferences for the Stair Symbol (and its components) on Floor Plan and on Reflected Ceiling Plan. Moderators: ejrolon, Barry Kelly, Karl Ottenstein, LaszloNagy, gkmethy, Modeling and drafting in Archicad. There might be cases where you want to show slabs on A Deck2. Tautological boilerplate: All trademarks and copyrights on this page are the property of their respective owners. Cover fill is on. • Beams, ceilings, and soffits are shown directly. Sounds complicated but it’s not; it’s done this way so that the orientation of the floor plan and the orientation of the ceiling plan … Actually, it's a roof element used as a sloped ceiling. • Overhangs and clip lines can be drawn once with dashed polylines. It follows from this that we probably need fewer custom object solutions that use the ceiling switch. When architects or designers talk about the floor-ceiling balance, they definitely do not mean that the ceiling should be a reflected or reverse image of the flooring. Reflected Ceiling Plan (3) by MVO (4) In Master script, inicialize the constant values for the 4 options:! it is on the current story....MVO has no overrides; I've checked the fill to be sure it is a drafting fill, has appropriate pens assigned....I think it's cause the plan looks down. It is referred to as a reflected ceiling plan since it is drawn to display a view of the ceiling as if it was reflected onto a mirror on the floor. In most cases you can use beam elements instead. The Default Reflected Ceilng Plan View Range Setting Values in the sample Revit project. If I move the roof below the cut plane it shows up. (Well, three new and one renamed.) How to set up the layer combination, and choose what needs to be seen in a reflected ceiling plan. They should be solid in floor plan and RCP, since you see them directly when looking either up or down. Share your knowledge. The RCP has long been a frustrating form of output if you're trying to minimize drawing. • The upper cabinets are showing, with that same dashed line type. (I've included decks in the rule but not in the layer combination. A graphic override rule changes their line type to dashed. (When you choose Upper Cabinet in the Cab Blob object, it is automatically drawn with dashes. All the things that need to be shown are modeled, but Archicad has had limited facility to present these elements with properly modified attributes. The RCP has long been a frustrating form of output if you're trying to minimize drawing. Reflected Ceiling Plan Changes in Archicad 20. This means less redundant 'drawing', and more unity. ), RCP Below Dashed: All elements on the layers A Stair2, A Deck2, and F Counter are drawn with a dashed line type, and no cover fill. In practice, 'properly modified' usually just means a dashed line type. What does RCP mean? • Now counters are the only thing left on F Cabs2, and they aren't even cabinets, so that layer name is changed to F Counter. How can this ceiling plan be made? I found one extremely rare case it might help. These elements should placed with a dashed line type as their 'natural' settings in the floor plan. Or, use Ceiling Line objects, which can change their line type but have to be placed one line at a time. Too bad, I liked that one. http://www.wikihow.com/Read-a-Reflected-Ceiling-Plan, Installation / New User / Getting Started. Anyone put together a decent Reflected Ceiling plan using ArchiCad....without drawing every ceiling-related element 4 times. Ceiling Line: Probably not needed at all. So we need F Shelves, which shows in RCP but is not overridden. You can show the slab directly on A Soffit2, but if the main polygon crosses an opening, the dashed line is visible. A graphic override rule changes their line type to solid. Leaving use fill of surface material checked will show the assigned fill pattern of the material. Graphic overrides greatly expand the number of ways an element can represent itself in different kinds of documentation. You can update the layer combination to do this - the decks are already handled by the dashed line rule. RCP=Reflected Ceiling Plan "a reflected ceiling plan (RCP) is a drawing, which shows the items that are located on the ceiling of a room or space. They should show, but their line should be solid.
