I have a 2 x 2 ACT ceiling grid that is using a simple model lines pattern as a surface pattern. When I demo a ceiling of this type, the model line pattern does not become dashed, only the boundary! Does anyone have any suggestion on what I might do to get the ceiling grid lines to go dashed once demolished?

Has anyone ever replied to your issue or have you figured it out?  I am having the same problem and cannot for the life of me figure it out.  Any help would be appreciated, thanks

I set up my phase filter - graphic over-rides to show existing ceiling patterns as dashed.  Here is the problem.  Thy print dashed but not on the screen.  Check it out.

Ok i spent the better part of an hour trying to get the visibilty to be dashed for my grid lines. They appeared solid on my screen so i thouhgt they were solid. i had everything set up correctly and like you said once you print them they are dashed. ugg, i have been using revit a long time, and defend it it to everybody in the office. this one ticked me off. hub thanks for the advice.
