How is everyone addressing pipe breaks where one pipe passes over another?

This is an issue.

What exactly do you mean? The gaps that are created? You can turn those off if you want. Mechanical Settings -> Hidden Lines.

Thats just it, there are no gaps.If I have a pipe
at 9' and another pipe at 10' 90 degrees to the other they show op as lines
crossing ech other instead of a pipe break. (gap) to show that are not
connected.

Sounds like you either have them turned off, or perhaps you have your view view Model Graphics Style set to Wireframe?

I think the Gap Setting is a joke. If you mess with the setting it then will affect you fitting display as well. Your pipe rise and pipe down symbol are now screwd up.
Revit shows everything, if there is not a fitting it is not connected. It does not matter which is on top. The contractor is going to install it the way they want anyway. Thanks 2 cents...

Here is an example. Maybe there is an ideal setting that I don't know about but I have never been able to get this work properly.

Good point. The gap setting should not affect the pipe rise/down
symbols. Autodesk needs to correct this.

I agree. There are also problems with duct items such as dampers in ducts and fittings.

Autodesk's solution to us was to set it to zero. Therefore, no breaks at crossings. -useless

Have you tried setting the hidden line to 3/128"? This is the closest number I can come up with to work half way descent with both ducts and pipes.

1.The reason is because you have a line weight greater than 1 applied to the pipe filter.
2 Phases are overridden.
3.I have seen some files with glitches. Just open Mechanical Settings and close it.

Usually the culprit is #1.

I was using "7/256" as my final choice. (really) That way you can say "yea, that's a break", or "no, that's a printer error."

That's the diameter of a human hair isn't it? Something isn't right, but whatever works.

Where can i find the information you provided for pipe padding?  (style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">
