In the building industry, construction documents often use different line style conventions to convey
information and to differentiate one line from another. For example, dimensions may use thin solid lines,
while callout bubbles use heavy dashed lines.
You can specify the line pattern as part of the line style for many types of lines used in Revit Architecture.
(See

line style A line of a particular pattern, weight, and color, used to indicate different effects. For example, in

and add your own line styles to suit your needs and preferences. For more information, see
