    Default Pline as repeating detial in Revit??

    What is the best way to draw thick dashed pline in revit? For example, we have a site model and i want to show access routes in plan view. In CAD world, we use colored dashed plines to show this on top of site plan. In Revit world i am thinking to use repeating detail tool to draw dashed Pline. But I cant figure out how to change color of the Pline repeating detail. I am creating a detail family with Dash length and thickness as parameters. It works fine except changing color.

    Thanks very much in anticipaiton of your help.

    Thanks for your quick response.

    We want to export them to autocad too. If we export model line to autocad, we loose their thicknesses if used with .ctb. Am i right? Hence i was thinking to approach this using repeating details with solid filled rectangular box.

    I think the drafting method is the way forward. Its annotation on a view after all, i.e. do it the same way as in 2D cad.. keep it simple. Easily changed once exported to give it a thickness..
