Dashed line appears as continious in one view

[anders.hedman]

For some reason model lines which should be dashed appears as continuous in one view in the project, everywhere in other views the same line has correct appearance. I have checked line style, object style, visibility etc. Can´t find any difference between the views. The problem appears in all three workstations involved in the project, and appeared after we had created a new central file. In AutoCad I would use regen-command and it would be fixed. Regardless of which line style I choose the result is "continuous"!

It is overridden, probably by the phase setting of the view.

[anders.hedman]

Thanks for reply, the phase settings are "show all" and "new construction" in all views.!?
I will try to audit the central file as next step , if no result I have to recreate the view by copying the neighboring view at the same plane and copy over all view-specific data, ( tags, detail lines, callouts etc) and hope that nothing disappears.

Are you referring to "model lines" ie linework or actually cut or projected model elements. If its the latter someone has probably used the linework tool on it.

[anders.hedman]

Unfortenately they are linework, model lines, thanks anyway

I came across this problem recently with model lines displaying as you describe - but only in plan views.

The problem seemed to be related to the view range. We had a split level unit - the lower level being a metre below the other and we only wanted to use one plan for our documents. However, the model lines on the lower level displayed as solid lines when they should have been showing overhead.

Using a Plan Region over the lower part and changing the view level to the same plane as the model line solved the problem.

hope that makes some sense!!!

good luck

Thanks a lot and flowers from my collaborators, too.!!!
(.............nothing was wrong with Revit, Windows, the server etc.)

mfancus, the problem you showed is probably because that line is seen as "beyond" and therefore overridden as the <beyond> Line style, which is continuous. Revit uses this line style for all objects that are below the "bottom" level but above the "view depth" level in the view range. Hence, when you used a plan region, it was above the "bottom" level, so it displayed based on it's category. FYI

sfaust, I think you got it.
