    Default Line style for electrical Wire

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    I am using Revit MEP 2011 and was wondering if it was possible to change the line style of the electrical wires. I have a couple that I need to be dashed (or hidden) lines?

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    It shows they are Wire tyes THWN. I do not think they are considered as actual lines and that is why I cant modify them. I originally was trying to make a couple of homruns and dashed lines and keep the same arrowhead that is on the original homerun. I tried deleting the wire to draw and actual dashed line but it deletes the arrow head as well.

    I think the object style will. Not sure why I didnt think of that sooner, but thank you for bringing that to my attention.
