Out of curiousity, are people using live cuts when creating details? I know some places that will cut the live detail and use them as a background to place 2-D components over the top. The actual 3-D modeled elements then get hidden in the final product. At that point though, was there any real benefit to cutting the live detail? Did you save time by doing it that way? Just looking for a way to leverage Revit to make it beneficial and efficient. Thanks.
My recommendation is to cut live details of things that don't require placing detail lines and components over the model. Only cut live views of things that will update on their own as the model changes. For us, this is typically building elevation and full wall sections. We make all of our details using drafting views.
Thanks for the response back. We currently do about 95% of our detail cuts with drafting views. When cutting the live cuts it just seems like there is inevitably a lot of clean-up that has to go on, especially when dealing with sloped or skewed elements. After cleaning that stuff up and placing the necessary 2-D components, it almost feels like "what was the point?" Or, "did I save myself any time or effort?"
Yes, for example, I am going to copy the link structural framing element inside my revit project, do I need to define the new element category and type or does it directly copy the element straight away inside my revit project?
This is exactly what I wanted to say. If there is a capacity to make this possible, this function would be used on every single project at any firm that uses Enscape. Quality live 3D in sheets would help a lot actually with design intent for contractors to see, and resolve questions that the current revit view cannot.

With this technology, design firms can take advantage of an interactive visualization tool without investing in expensive equipment. Whenever you make changes to the model, Autodesk Revit live updates the model visualization almost immediately.
Hi all, all of my scripts working well in sample and self created revit model but when i using same scripts in my office models where we have coordinate system/true north angle etc it is not giving me the desire results.
thanks @Andrej, no the snip i gave you was from sample model in which it is working correctly, but yes in live model (site) its not giving a desire result. I will try this in a live model and let you know.
We had a blast talking with Nicolas on Revit Pure (to be BIM Pure from now on)! Check out some of the highlights from the livestream below. Thanks to Nicolas for the invite and for everyone that was able to join!
