Fix Pipe up and down single line symbology

[Wish List System]

Summary: Have pipeing that turns up or down to show properly regardless of it's location within the view range

Description: Fix REVITs single line symbol to show properly regardless of where the pipe, elbow (or T) or end of pipe is in the view range. It is frustrating to have a pipe “up” show with the classic pipe “down” symbol in single line because the piping did not break the upper view range plane. Sometimes, Ok all the time, that is not an option for that view. It should be a “no brainer” for the piping to show correctly on single line plans if a pipe is turning up or down. For me this is very frustrating because this issue is drafting 101 and one of the first things you are taught when leaning drafting. So why is it such an issue with REVIT?

How about in a Plumbing discipline view there is an additional view range setting that will adjust the cut plane for piping?

In most cases this would solve the bad cuts of piping.

There could be 100s of view plane with this. If I pipe is up or down it should show that way regardless of where the view plane is. Also, a view plane cut wouldn't show (2) 1/8th bends in a pipe. ---c----c---- Or a trap o-c----
