Users try to zoom in on them to read the information but they are still illegible, because they stay the same size no matter how far one zooms in. Sometimes in Revit MEP, temporary dimensions are too small to be legible. They play an important role in Revit Architecture, Structure and MEP. As soon as the box is rechecked, the values will be calculated again: Temporary Dimensions Unchecking the “Run calculations for loads in spaces” checkbox will keep Revit out from constantly updating these calculations, and show the loads as “Not Computed” in the Properties dialog. Included in the Load Calculations panel of the dialog is a control that allows you to turn off load calculations for spaces. The faces are processed by the Revit graphics system and display in the view as 2D lines. Although elements are displayed as 2D lines in Revit views, in the model they are 3D objects made up of faces. Performance in views with the Hidden Line model graphics style enabled is directly related to the number of faces displayed in the view.
Setting to 0 the Mech Hidden value for Inside Gap and Outside Gap can provide substantial performance improvements, but we have to consider if it’s not necessary for documentation when working with hidden lines in a view.
This document explains key tips to achieve so. MEP modelling in Revit can be very useful, but it’s key to manage our model properly, in order to keep it clean and organized, and the file fluent and weight optimized. The user has basic skills in BIM modelling with Revit MEP, and understands the terminology.
