Hi. I am wondering if there is a way to select all instances of a component and with using the linework tool show it as a dashed object, because it is something not being provided in the contract. BTW, I am using Revit Building 9 and the object I am writing about happens to be a keyboard/monitor set up (It is a 3d component). Thanks in advance. No one in my office seems to have a clue.

Its has been a while since I used 9.1 but I think you can hit tab while you are hovering over a line and it will select all lines of an object.

I know that I can tab select to get the whole object, but I am trying to select all of the component copies (I have, like, over a hundred keyboards that I am trying to switch the line work of).

Oh I see. I'm not sure if there is an easier way. You might look into filters. I believe you can set up a filter that will recognize a particular family and then apply that filter in the Visibility Graphics dialog. This should allow you to turn all objects the filter picks up to dashed line type.

Here are a couple of options you could try. - Redefine the family. Turn off the 3d representation in 2d views and use hidden symbollic lines.
- Redifine the family and put it in a category that you halftone in your views. Not hidden lines but obviously ghosted elements.

Those are both excellent solutions. Don't know why didn't I think of that. Thanks WWHub.
