Ok lets try again. I think I'm starting to understand.
I knew the "view detail level" sets a DEFAULT group of settings that dictate the visibility of elements in that view
I want to know if I can change that!!!!
My walls are not a fat blobs because I edited the line weight settings the walls are using under "Object Settings"
For example, I'm using a wall with exterior insulation. At 1:100 I'm showing everything in that wall assembly, which I really don't need to see but I still want to see my insulation. So to get that I have to set the level to "fine" or “medium” and just accept I'm going to see everything else as well. See the images attached, there is almost no different between “medium” and “fine”. For Medium I would like a single line at my exterior face of core as this is important for dimensioning and such, but as it stands I see two lines for each face of the sheathing at that location. The metal siding also shows two lines on the exterior but they are so close they bleed together. My point is I’d like more control to simplify the line for my wall assembly without having to edit each line individually with the line work tool. Would that be possible?
I coming at this from a CAD point of view where I'd draw exactly what I want to see, but in Revit the "detail" settings are determining my line work for me and its not always want I want. Generally though it seems pretty good.
In Families (Think I get it)
Families I know can set an extrusion or other object to be visible based on view and detail level, but it effects the whole object. If I want to be more detailed (like only show an outline or something) I have to tell Revit to not display that object and use symbolic lines instead, correct? One example would be a plane of glass in a window, a single thicker line would be preferred.
For 3D objects I make an extrusion in a family, when I set the profile for that extrusion I cannot determine (From the family editor) what it will look like in the project. For example I make a door frame and it is cut in the project in a floor plan view. Revit is determining the line weight for that cut based on the "sub category" setting from the family editor. Then Revit looks in the project settings under “object styles” and takes the line weight and line style for that category. If I want to go deeper I can go directly to the "line weight" settings and give a different number in millimeters for the line thickness when plotted at any particular scale.
Did I miss anything?
