The Nickster Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Is there a way to change the properties of a wire to be a dashed or hidden line to represent being underground? Am I over-looking something blantantly obvious here or what? Quote
The Nickster Posted September 15, 2011 Author Posted September 15, 2011 *note* without changing EVERY wire in the drawing to a hidden or dashed line. Quote
The Nickster Posted September 15, 2011 Author Posted September 15, 2011 Since REVIT MEP 2011 is so advanced to not allow something as simple as a wire that needs to be illustrated as underground (what a concept) thru some tinkering i managed to create a (non-intelligent) hidden line to look like an underground wire. Sometimes I think this program is the most asinine thing on the planet. Quote
tzframpton Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Gotta love Revit. Still, I see great intuition in the program even though is lacks. It's still a maturing program that's for sure. Quote
Lee Roy Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 It's amusing at times, frustrating at most though, that the things we want upgraded get left behind and the things we make work-arounds for get upgraded. For instance, the OP's issue. I doubt it will get changed any time soon. -Revision Clouds: TONS complain about them. It's an inter-discipline object that everyone hates. UNCHANGED -Electrical Schedules: I didn't know anything was wrong, but they got upgraded! Wtf Autodesk? Please fix the simple things first? K.I.S.S. and it's a lot more effective. Quote
G-Prime Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Hey Nickster, Just wondering if when you mean changing the wire, are you refering to one branch circuit? or are talking about annotative lines?? I would say if it is the branch circuit wiring, I would just delete that 1 run, draw a spline with the line tool, and change that spline to hidden. Definately not a fix, but works for me. Quote
G-Prime Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Oh and sorry I have no idea if you are talking about electrical wiring or not. If you are this has been posted, dunno if "object styles" can fix it or not, I try to use the program like 2D CAD lol http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?60731-Line-style-for-electrical-Wire Quote
