    Default Line weights of sections, elevations and views to show depth

    Summary: Change the weight of lines depending on distance from viewer

    Description: I want to have the view depth range indicated by three lines, the line at the elevation pointer for example, then the second line defining the start of middle ground, and the third line indicating the start of the background.

    The existing line indicates the extent of the view. This could be an option for all views, plans sections, elevations, callouts. Possibly the inclusion of the camera allowing a similar depth of view.

    The line weights are defined by the override in the middle ground as line weight, half the thickness of the category in the foreground. The background is then all in line weight 1.

    Sería un gran deseo, tener control de profundidad de líneas y calidad de líneas.

    theres depth cueing in revit 2017 onwards. This makes things further away be slightly faded. you can control how far away this fade starts and how extreme the fade is. Its still not brilliant though as architecturally we still use thick lines on closer items. Only way around this that I've seen is the line type over ride tool and select the lines you want amending on the view in question.
