    Default duct symbol showing through walls.

    attached is a view of wall.

    There are ducts on the other side of the wall, and the duct center cross-hairs show through the wall.

    Why that? and how to stop it. I don't use the MEP stuff at all so it's all new to me.

    Can you pull the view depth back so it's not that deep?
    Just a thought.

    Actually no, there are some elements in the larger drawing that are back 30 or 40 feet behind this wall.

    Is this a 'normal behavior' for Revit?

    I've run into it before and I think I fixed it by adjusting the view depth and changing the Cut type to Cut without line or something like that.
    I know I've run into it, I just can't remember how I fixed it.

    I tried all 3 far depth clipping options around, no help.

    Are you sure they don't penetrate the wall, even by the tiniest fraction of an inch?
