Reflected Ceiling Plan - Revit Error Message

October 4, 2018, 08:22 PM

I am working on a reflected ceiling plan (RCP) that is partially complete,indicating that this is a new error. When I attempt to add a new ceiling, I get the following error message:

"the work plane of this view cannot be used for this operation. The operation should be performed in another view or the work plane of this view should be set to a level by using the work plane command"

Again, I am not sure why this message is appearing now, as we were able to draw the other ceilings without issue.

Any ideas?

Architecture Ribbon > Set Work Plane (right side) > Select whatever Level you are currently on.

No big deal, happens a bunch if you are modeling in 3D sometimes.
