Line Weight in Isometric View

Anonymous — Mon, 07 Sep 2020 20:16:03 GMT

Any tips on how to get these conduits to look more yellow and smooth? I want them to look like in the second picture for an isometric view. In this second picture I'm holding my mouse scroll, but once I release it the conduits return to black

Is Object Styles (or VGOs) not working for you?

It is all greyed out. Maybe it has something to do with the fact I'm using a binded link archive for a BIM project, but the VGO doesnt work even for the architetural p

You have a View Template Assigned to the View.

Which scale is working? look alike is in 1/100

If you only want to see in these 3d
views, Is better you configure one line with thinner.

As i have the same teplate, i could see that with the line a number 1 the thickness is 0.1, continued the heavy line. I used number 16 and set the thickness to 0.025.

Thank you, Maurico. It got better now!

The only thing is I don't know if it is better enough for the actual print, thats because when I zoom out in the sheet, it turns grey again, look:

I wanted it to look like the second picture. Do you know if it get better when we actually print it?

The last resource I have is to set the conduit color in the VG to yellow, but then the quallity drops a bit

print as PDF and take a look at 98%, the size will be the same when printed. Just see.

I do not think that putting in yellow works well, printing the yellow color on white paper does not mark well.

What does this mean? "The quality drops"?

....sounds like a problem with your printer/software. Not Revit.

It seems that your scale is very large, 1/100 or larger. So, even with the fine lines, it still looks very black. 0.025 is the thinnest that Revit can go.

You should put a smaller scale to see any difference, like 1/50. The black line as an outline of the conduit is to make a contrast and help in visualization, as I said before, if you put a yellow line, when printing it will be difficult to see, if it is on a large scale you will not see anything.

If smooth lines and thinner black lines with a smaller scale still don’t work, It would be better to create (or change the existent) a filter and change the entire color of the conduit, just to represent, as well as the cold water and Sanitary pipe of the example you showed.

What are you talking about?

My graphics configs are the same as yours, do you know anything else that might be affecting the view?

Mauricio, I tried this setting you showed me and also the scale but no difference. I think creating a new template is the solution. Are you telling me to do a new template from scratch or to use something thats already there?

I don't know why but I think this problem might be related to te fact that I binded two files into one single file (the BIM template and the architetural file)

It seems you two are carrying on a conversation amongst yourselves. You two ought to get a room together. 😉

You can create another VIEWtemplete, it doesn't have to be a new model.

Everything I said, I did.

with the configuration I explained and in 1/50 scale.

Changing the color of the conduit for the filter.

Changing the lines to yellow, you will not be able to see when printing on the paper.
