Door Swing Elevation line display

[cstevens]

Help.

I am currently running Revit Architecture 2011.  I have interior elevations in my project, which include doors.  The door swing lines show up solid in elevation.  In fact there actually appear to be two of them.  I want the elevation swing indication to be a center line style.

I have changed the swing elevation line type  in object types to center (which is what I want). 

I go to the elevations and there is no change in the swing indication line except that there still appear to be two lines (one on top of the other) where now one is center linetype and the other is solid.  Seems like progress except that there is no actual visual difference.

There is only one symbolic line in the family.  If I un-check the draw in foreground box the elevation line disapears entirely when reloaded into the project.

This is an OTB door.  I can place it in a completely new template and it displays fine.  So it I am thinking it is NOT the family. There must be some setting in the actual file itself controlling this and I am stumped.  Any Ideas?

I would check the object styles on the manage tab. The elevation swing under the door category can be changed project wide there.

Thanks.  I did but to no effect.

I am mystified.

Hi cstevens

If you create a view template from the interior elevation view, use transfer project standards to transfer just the view templates to new project created with an out of the box template, apply the view template from the elevation to a newly created interior elevation in the new project and see the same issue of two lines instead of one on an out of the box door?  If so, could you send that resulting project?

In object styles, if you temporarliy change the other door line categories to some other noticeable line pattern, does the second solid line change?

No, in the new project with the transferred view template style the door displays the way that it should, with all continuous lines and with a door swing that is dashdot. If so, could you send that resulting project? In object styles, if you temporarliy change the other door line categories to some other noticeable line pattern, does the second solid line change? No. I have included a screen shot of where I have changed all of the door object styles and as you can see, there is still another continuous instance behind. But there is only one object. When the object is not highlighted, the continuous line shows in lieu of the dashdot. [cid:image002.jpg@01CD5DB9.ED7C9470] You will notice that this door is not exactly OTB so I have also included another OTB door screen shot with the same object settings and view template below to confirm that it is not an issue with the door family. I am thinking it is something in the project setting but can't figure it out. Any suggestions or insight would be much appreciated.
