Detail Lines Appearing Jagged?

sharmeen.rizvi — Mon, 22 Jan 2024 20:46:59 GMT

Hey there,

I've been trying to troubleshoot this for a while and I'm stumped. Whenever I go to use any curves through the detail line tool, they come out jagged like this picture:

Zooming in or out also causes a shift in appearance. Filled regions have no such issue. I checked graphic display settings and I have anti-aliasing on (have not changed any settings otherwise either). It almost seems like an orthographic mode glitch? I tried reinstalling with no luck, so any help would be appreciated!

How far from the Project's Internal Origin are you?

Not too far, definitely not far enough to be out of the max distance limit...

Also have anti-aliasing on and hardware acceleration enabled.

Try unloading your linked files and see if that helps. If so one of the files may have an object or origin point too far away for Revit to handle.

Hm...unloaded all linked files and tried again...still no luck. Others working on the same project seem to have no issue.

If others working on the same project do not have this issue then it could be your hardware. Try turning hardware acceleration off.

Turned it off, closed the program and re-opened but no change...

Have you got an IT department who can take a look? It's going to be difficult to diagnose an issue through the forum.

Post your file so we can see if it's replicable on our end.

File is a bit large to send...hmm it seems to only be occurring in drafting views. Anything in plan, section, elevation view produces smooth lines still. Any idea what the discrepancy for drafting views might be? Unfortunately we do not currently have IT adept with Revit.

Just post the Drafting View then. We don't need to whole enchilada.

Here it is!

Hate to tell you this, but nothing is jagged on my end. Looks pretty nice in fact.

Ahhh...and I guess creating new detail lines is coming out fine too? Must be m computer then...

Couple of items to check. If using View Template, make sure you don't have Sketchy Lines enabled. Also, this may be a graphics card issue. Either outdated or failing.

No view templates applied, and the PC is running an RTX 4060 Ti in good condition. Every generated line (even straight ones seem to be offset from a tangent one like this:

Any ideas? I'm stumped after trying to troubleshoot it.
