In the following image, the doors category has overrides for projection/surface lines and for cut pattern.
For information on visibility settings for elements in linked Revit models and elements in worksets, see
Visibility for Linked Revit Models on page 1282 and Controlling Workset Visibility on page 1265.
Creating Views for Specific Purposes
Because you can control element visibility and graphic display by view, you can create views for specific
purposes. Some possibilities include:
■ Furniture Layout—Show furniture half-toned on lighting RCP plan.
■ Sprinkler Layout—Show sprinklers prominently on a half-toned ceiling plan.
■ Furniture Plan—Show furniture and associated symbols, with room names and numbers, on a half-toned
floor plan.
■ Equipment Plan—As in an industrial kitchen layout: floor-mounted equipment shown prominently,
wall-mounted equipment shown with an alternate line weight, and ceiling equipment (hoods) shown
with a third line weight, on a half-toned power plan.
■ Fire-Safety Plan—Show 1-hour, 2-hour, and other fire-rated enclosures on a half-toned floor plan in a
manner so that you can distinguish the ratings. Overhead exit signs and sprinklers can appear in one
color, and wall-mounted alarm devices and fire-extinguishers can appear in another color.
■ Restoration Work—Show periods of existing materials in a building being reviewed for historic alterations.
For example, 17th-century features shown in line weight 1, 18th-century features shown in line weight
2, and proposed alterations shown in line weight 3.
Overriding Visibility and Graphic Display of Individual Elements
NOTE If you need to override the visibility and graphic display for element categories, see Overriding Graphic
Display of Element Categories on page 201 and Specifying Element Category Visibility on page 202. You can also
override the graphic display of individual elements using the Linework tool. See Changing the Line Style of Elements
on page 398.
