This question concerns Revit lineworks and line weights.
Right now I'm creating a block overview of connected houses, using a linked file. That means one house will be directly next to the other.
All houses that have a neighbour share an intersection wall, which means I had to draw 50% of the wall thickness (both sides) and put a grid line next to it. When linking the houses to the linked file, it will look 'just right' when I use lineworks to convert the outer wall line to an invisible line (in the linked file).
This, however, doesn't work for the elevation views. I can linework as much as I want, but the elevation view in the linked file shows a line inbetween each house (while in reality you're supposed to see just one long wall and not ten put next to each other). Does anyone know how to solve this?
It is possible to select wether hostfile view properties or linked file view properties are applied, and one can even select what view should apply for a certain floorplan. This option is greyed out for elevation views.
For the record: I have to create 13 block views, with a grand total of 91 houses (three different types for inbetween, left and right of block, I'm lucky today).
Slightly related: what's the easiest way to manage line weights? This also includes lines embedded in families and cut- and surface patterns. During this pilot project I'm creating a template, so it's very important all settings are sufficiently accurate. We have very strict office standards.
Any help might take hours off my workload. Thanks in advance.
Have a nice weekend.
