Revit Show Roof Above Dashed

Alternatively create a new ceiling plan cut just below the eaves that shows only walls and rooves with wall display overridden to dashed.

Revit show roof above dashed.

Thankfully within revit there is a far more elegant solution to this problem and that is the linework tool. The dashed lines that you are seeing in this plan are actually the edges of the roof element. Showing beams and columns dashed below or above. When a family is located above the view range cut plane but falls below the top plane the family category will determine whether it is visible or not.

A customer wanted to show bathroom fittings that are behind a wall in elevation so that they can plan the drainage piping for each fitting. You notice when placing revit component families some display above the view cut plane while others like specialty equipment do not. 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.

So if you go to visibilty graphics and look at the filter tab you ll see a filter created which shows any pipe as dashed if it is below the elevation of 0 0. You can draw your eaves dimensions on the ceiling plan. It is just that now they are set to be visible rather than. And now i need to set it s underlay to show the roof element.

The following images shows a method of creating a filter using the pipe elevation. Overlay the roof plan and this celing plan on the sheet they will snap align. Once the underlay of the correct level is turned on set it to either floor plan or reflected ceiling plan orientation.
