I am having a linestyle issue with 2 roof heights that I want to display on the same view. I change the views Bottom Primary Range to be below the lower roof and the Top Primary Range to be above the upper roof so it encompasses both levels. I have changed the model object linestyle to Dash Dot 3/16". It displayes correctly for the lower roof but not the upper roof. Also, neither bar joist levels are sloped as I have seen that cause display issues also. Any help would be appreciated.Revit Structure 2011, Windows 7-64bit

1) Where is your Cut Plane set to for the View Range settigns? 2) How did you modify the model object linestyle? Object Styles? Lineworks Tool? Overide in view? 3) "bar joist levels are sloped..."as in the physical levels themselves? Would you define aToJ Bearing Level anda BoJ bearing level and run the joists from one level to the other? See where we go from there.

High Roof is at 18'-6". Low Roof is 10'-6". Cut plane is 1'-0" above High Roof, Top is 2'-0", Bottom is -10'-0", View Depth Level is -15'-0". I modified the linestyle in the Model Object Styles. The bar joists are flat. Same bearing elevation at each end.

I see... *strokes chin thoughtfully* Which sub/category did you modify in Object Styles dialog? What exactly are you trying to make dashed? The edge? Anything roof related? I would try to rais the cut plane to something more like 4' above the high roof and the top just above that (if you can do that and maintain visual integrity of the view) and see if Revit jsut thinks the cut plane is too close. RE: Bar joists. I guess I don't understand waht you are saying. You said that neihter of the bar joist levels are sloped. Were you wanting them to be sloped? What were you asking/pointing out with that? Was this just FYI?

Bar joists being flat was more of an FYI because I know if they are sloped it can affect the linestyle display. I will try moving the cut plane. I modified Web Joist under Structural Framing. I just want the bar joists to be represented as a dashed line in plan.

AHHHhhh.. I thought you were referring to the roof *facepalm* So the joists at lowere roof level were displaying ok, but the joists at high were not. I see now. Which sub/category did you modify in Object Styles dialog? Are the bar joists the same on both high and low roof?

Under the structural framing category i modified the Web Joist category. I modified the the linestyle to Dash Dot 3/16". The lower roof displays fine but the upper does not. The lower roof is the 18k4 Revit Bar Joist Angle Web Family and the high roof is the 24k7 Revit Bar Joist Angle Web Family. Same family, different types.

You are viewing this plan in Coarse detail mode? I just tried this and got dashed lines on both high and low level. Check my method and let me know if I did soemthing differently. http://screencast.com/t/vsqtRVUqx HTH.

How much difference in height was there between your level 2 and level 4 plans, in your video that you made? I watched it twice, but I didn't any place that shows how much actual height difference there was. RogueMongoose had 8'-0" of height difference when his display issues happened, I just want to make sure that you duplicated the senerio correctly.
