    Cool No Plot Lines

    I had another question about hiding some lines. We have a grid on one of our sheets and we are trying to pujt some sort of setting on the lines for a no plot.

    use ref planes on your sheet. they wont plot, if the check box in the plot dialog is selected.

    Talking Re: No Plot Lines

    He is referring to using ref planes as grids! Thanks alot Scott. Hopefully I can ask you more questions at the next Revit User Group meeting Bill Brown holds or at the Newport. I am a former student that worked in Laguna Beach with Stuart Architecture, I now work at Alcala Architecture in Corona, Ca... Anyways thanks for all you help!

    Workaround #246:
    Make your no-plot lines really really light. You'll still be able to see it on the screen, particularly if you're young, and when it plots, you won't see it on the paper, particularly if you're on the older side.

    I had assumed by "grids" on a sheet, he was referring to just a series of lines on his sheet to assist in the layout of views. I did not consider them to be "Grid lines" with the grid bubbles. So my suggestion was to make "grids" on your sheet by using Ref Planes in a titleblock family rather than using lines, if you want to see them, but don't wnat them to plot.

    How do you get reference lines (no planes available) in the titleblock to show up in a sheet view?

    The titleblock family does not allow you to draw reference planes in plan Scott? DO you want us to draw them in plan and COpy and Paste, I don't quite understand?
