REVIT MEP 2011 Changing wire line to be dashed or hidden...

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?

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.

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.

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.
