wall under island countertop hidden

[Jleibold]

Hello all;

I don't understand how to make/show a wall under an island countertop to show dashed (or in general)?  I looked at the view range, but that didn't work.  This is frustrating...  ACA, no problem, Revit - confusion.

It wasn't shown in class & I have gone over a few hundred pages of notes, help online, 10lb Revit book, to no avail.  I know this sounds stupid, but I am a novice wanting to learn this, but here I am....

Thanks in advance -

change your view to wireframe so you can see the walls

then use linework to change the outside line of the wall to something like dash

Change your view to Wireframe

Go to View tab....Show hidden lines

first click on the floor....second click wall below

change to hidden line mode again, the obscured object is now in dashed line

Ok, I see how that works:

need to go to wireframe visual style in order to see the wall under counter

go to graphics | show hidden lines

select the element that will obscure (countertop)

select the element to be hidden (half wall below)

go to view | linework

select the line style (dashed)

select both sides of the half wall below

I did know how to do this, but it was on elevations when in training.  I must learn to think Revit, not ACA.. (hence the learning curve)

Thanks guys...
