What Revit Wants
Paul Aubin has posted his RTC files for download. In this package is a ‘Detailing Sandbox’ RVT file that includes a pretty comprehensive Wall Section that is annotated using Keynotes. There is also folders with content related to Coordinates and to Finishes.
To quote:
For those of you who attended my sessions at RTC Australia, I mentioned that I would be posting the dataset files from those classes. I am not sure when the RTC folks will publish them to their site, but I thought I would get them posted here in the meantime. …

2) Lower priority layers cannot cut through higher priority layers, during the “clean up process”- they are just stopped by them.
3) The exception to both of the above are layers that fall within the Core boundaries. A priority 2 layer “within the core boundaries” will override a priority 1 later” that is situated “outside of the core boundary”.
