    Show only structure and finish face line

    In my plan view i only want the lines for the core and the finish facade to show.
    i can either get all common lines to show or only the finish facade lines....

    I have wanted to be able to show just the core of a wall for many years, which is not possible in Revit (please someone correct me if I am wrong!). You can show all the layers or just the face boundary using detail level changes.
    I used to be high on life, until I realised it was cut with Morons.

      That's easily done! Do the following:

      1. Change the cut patterns of all the materials used in the wall, that you want to hide(except the 'core' material), to 'None'.

      2. In the Visibility/Graphics dialog box(Model Categories tab), click on the 'Cut Line Styles' check box and then the 'Edit' button.

      3. Set the line weights of all the layers, except 'Structure' layer to different/smaller number than the 'Structure' layer. Click 'OK'.

      4. Under the 'Model Categories' tab, click on the 'Walls' node. Uncheck the 'Common Edges' checkbox.

      5. Click 'Apply' & 'OK'. There you are!

        More importantly, how did you generate such a long mess of a url in your post? Your images do not come through.

          Entirely possible Tim. So long as you model them as separate elements.

          because I bore of fishing for old threads, and people tire of being told to do so, here's a different way to respond:

            Thanks, Snowy!

            Kindly enlighten me about the reason for the potential wrist-slapping. I wouldn't want them slapped if i can avoid it.

            Also, could you help me with this >> https://www.revitforum.org/architect...tion-wall.html
            Nobody has been able to give me a clue yet.

              Tail-wags-dog.

              In abusing (potentially well considered) material appearances to achieve one simple documentation goal you will (potentially) upset many other workflows dependant on them.

              Rather; you (would) adjust appearances at a view-level only, using any number of readily available techniques (such as filters) whilst retaining the material content as-is (i.e. correct)

              The rest is fine.


              As for your other thread, read that yesterday but had nothing to offer - save deleting the instances and placing them again to see if the problem persists.

                Interesting approach (essentially creating multiple walls for external and internal walls) but this is something I think could be quite beneficial though though likely requires more work. How do you deal with 'core' walls which are found in both situations such as blockwork(CMU)? Do you duplicate them and name them with a prefix e.g. Ext-Core or Int-Core? If so, do they share the same type mark for tagging?

                  I absolutely have interior and exterior wall types, that are seemingly the same. And- while i dont tag my exterior walls- they DO have a tag value that IS different, in case someone SHOULD tag them.

                  In Uniformat, Interior and Exterior walls are classified in completely different Groupings. And they tend to require different things to be checked for (interior CMU makes me want to review for Thickened Slabs and structural details, exterior CMU makes me want to review for Edge of Slab and foundation details, and waterproofing). Ive even got Filters on my Coordination Plans that color the INT's and the EXT's so i dont get confused.

                    So the answer is 'NO'

                    Sorry Snowy, I have to differentiate between being able to use the composite wall idea and modelling each layer (or core, lining & cladding) as separate elements.

                    Now if Revit was to incorporate wall sub-categories, where you could define interior, core and exterior, and maintain each at a project level . . . they could add the functionality the OP (and me) wants at the same time as reducing your workflows management time . . .
