Pipes only show as single lines in 3d model i have been working with revit for about a week now for a recent job.
Revit show single line for roof hidden above.
Simply highlight the segment you want to show as hidden right click and select override by element.
Here are some facts that may help in explaining how to show beams which are above.
So let s say i want to show the outline of the roof on my ground floor plan.
Then you can override the line property of each segment that you want to show as hidden.
Here is my simple building a single storey building with an overhanging pitched roof.
Ceiling plan views only look up.
Some may call this wysiwyg or what you see is what you get.
And now i need to set it s underlay to show the roof element.
Define the display settings for projection lines using the object styles or the override graphics in view functions in revit.
Follow these steps in order to get the desired display.
In the view properties expand the underlay drop down and select the level on which the roof was created to display as an underlay.
If hidden lines do not display as expected check the view range.
Revit will not detect things overhead.
Floorlan views only look down.
Out of the box revit doesn t do this because revit shows it as it s built.
For show hidden lines select a value.
As you can see neither one of these options may be what you were specifically looking for but these are the workarounds for now.
In residential architecture as well as other types it is often a required part of the working drawing set to be able to show the roof overhang as a hidden line on the floor plan views.
The linetype called overhead is just a standard linetype like hidden or thin lines.
Manage additional settings line styles and select beyond.
You may need to extend the view range to include objects whose hidden lines you want to show or reduce the view range to exclude objects whose hidden lines you do not want to display.
If your convention is to always show all foundations as hidden or dashed in a plan view i suggest making a view template for your plan views that has the structural foundation category overridden.
This makes the roof line visible in the plan view but the lines appear as solid lines.
In order to enable different view representations make sure that the option show family pre cut in plan views in the structural beam family is unchecked.
The model is already previously drawn by someone that actually knows what theyre doing.
The top range of the view range dialog box is only there to establish how high the cut plan can go.
