Floor Sketch Line Problem

[tim.ervin]

I am having issues drawing floors in Revit 2013. Basically when I draw a floor, the construction lines show up twice, once where I actually drew it, and once offset a foot or so to project north. I've attached an image of a screen shot, in it, you will see it looks like there are 2 vertical lines and 4 horizontal lines. That is not the case, I drew the outline using the box tool, and it generated those horizontal offsets. I also tried just drawing with the line tool, and also the select a line tool. They all do this crazy offset thing. Additionally, these "offset" lines cannot be selected. This is just a generic floor out of the box from Revit. When I finish the sketch it actually looks correct but it's really annoying to try and sketch this way.

Curious that your "options" bar is missing the option for an offset, chain and radius. When sketching a boundary those should be available.

What happens if you select on boundary line to edit? Do you see the "options" bar with offset, defines slope, cantilevers, etc.?

I'd suspect a graphics card issue. Save, close the program and reopen it and see if this self-corrects? We have systems that get graphically 'buggy' towards the end of the day - once users started closing and reopening over the lunch break, things seemed back to normal.

What Nancy said.
Make sure your drivers are up to date.
Also try turning off Hardware Acceleration in the Options dialog (or turn it on if its already off)
