    Joining Geometry Issues

    I have a custom line based foundation family. Its a basic extrustion with end controls... Very simple stuff.

    The bottom of these foundations are at different levels. Thus they are showing the edges of the geometry with the elevation changes.

    How can I stop Revit from showing the edges?

        The linework tool works about 75% of the line for somereason.... Plus this building is the size of 3 football fields.... I would have to overide like 300+ lines and its in DDs...

        Hidden line mode hasnt made any changes... Ive tried a lot of things. They either show the elevation edges or show nothing.

          What I meant with hidden line mode was to use show hidden lines selectively but since you pointed out this is much bigger than you pic alludes to, it's a moot point. hmm.... Why is it necessary to remove those offsets? Seems a bit misleading if you don't show an edge where there is one?

              That's unfortunate. On the bright side looks like you've got job security. Wipeout lines and linework it is. Just tell him it'll be a while till you get to some other things that are more important that he wants.

                Keep in mind that with Linework you will need to click on EACH line segment. The 75% was probably one edge, the other 25% is another edge which needs to be adressed separately.

                I posted a tip about setting the visibility settings for slabs through the ini-file some time ago. Can't find it just now but maybe that works?
