Line Styles
Line styles are used to indicate different effects, such as a dashed (------) line for reference planes. When you
install and run Revit Architecture, several line styles are included. Each predefined line style has a name that
describes either the line (for example, Dash dot), or where Revit Architecture uses the line style (for example,
<Sketch> lines). Revit Architecture stores the line styles in the default template.
When you are in the Family Editor, you cannot create new line styles but you can modify line weight, line
color, and line pattern.
Creating a Line Style
NOTE You can only create line styles in the project environment. You can modify line weight, line color, and line
pattern in the Family Editor. See Modifying Line Styles in the Family Editor on page 486.
