View Full Version : 2014 Subcategories for Visibility-Graphics

In my visibility-graphics pull-down box, "Walls" has (3) subcategories I can turn on and off (common edges, hidden lines, and wall sweep-brick soldier course). I assume I can add additional subcategories to that list because the wall sweep one doesn't turn off the EIFS wall sweep that I made.

Can some tell me how or give me a good keyword to find the answer in help? Ideally I could turn on and off different wall types. Or, better yet, groups of wall types by some user defined attribute of a wall.

Thanks in advance, I'm in my 2nd month of full time "Reviting" and I'm loving Revit and Augi.

To create a Subcategory navigate to the Object Styles icon (Manage). On the bottom right is the 3 buttons to Modify Subcategories. Click on the New button, Name the Subcategory and change the Category to Walls.

In the EIFS wall sweep type properties change the Subcategory of Walls to the newly created Subcategory. Now you will have visibility control over those wall sweeps.
