Is there anyway to do this in the topography? Linework doesn't work. Thanks, Lorne

Yes, you can First, set the lineweight you want for primary and secondary contours under settings / object styles / topography Now, under settings / site settings, you need two contour settings - 1 at 1' increment using the secondary contour lines and one at 5' intervals using the primary contour lines .... (or whichever way you have them configured / named)

Ok that all makes sense. But it is still not showing up when I set the settings accurately? Why not? What am I missing? Do I need to mess with anything along the top? 'At Intervals of:' Or passing through elevation? Thanks, Lorne

I've used this so I know it works. On your site settings, do you have the start and stop set large enough to include your contour range? Also, lineweights are hard to see on a site plan because of the scale. Zoom in on the lines.

Yes i have my range set to -1000' to +1000'. My contours are sitting around +- 0'. I zoomed in, and still nothing. The image I just posted is my current site settings, and they seem to look exactly as you're saying. But, still no changes. Maybe there's something wrong with this file? Why does Revit work only half the time, it's really frusterating! Anyways, any other ideas? Thanks, Lorne

Well, I'm a fool. I had a graphic override per view. I reset it and changed the object overrides. Now it works. WWHub you always are the best help! Thanks

Did you also set your lineweight you want for primary and secondary contours under settings / object styles / topography? My settings are 1 for secondary and 6 for primary. You might make that spread even larger until you are assured that it works.

Yes I did. It's working fine. I don't need to change that spread. Looks great. Thanks again. Lorne

This was frustating for me too. I've adjusted everything per your conversation and still no results.
The last thing to check was the "view range" if this is too big it doesn't work either
