Lines can not intersect each other. The highlighted lines currently intersect.

Hi all Revit users, wishing you all a prosperous second half of 2022 !

Just as my title says, I keep getting the same error msg as the following.

"Lines can not intersect each other. The highlighted lines currently intersect".

None of any perpendicular lines actually run past through the other. They are perfectly co-incident.

I try to make the ends of the perpendicular lines just touching without the end points connected co-incident.

As well, I use the trim tool to trim out the outermost parts of the lines mentioned above.

Does not work but only displays the same error msg.

Then, Revit picks other lines and says the same error msg.

This is fantastically annoying.

What can I possibly do ?????

Those of you who know, please please please share your tip as detailed as possible !

Greatly appreciated in advance !

Lines of what? A profile? A region/floor/ceiling... boundary?

I suspect you have overlapping lines (count them) or a rogue line exists out of the view range.

Ironically, you need to be more detailed about your issue. Examples would be extremely beneficial.

Oh, pardon me. This happens in Drafting View when I try to make detailed components with Filled Region.

With just model line, it's all good. It is just in the drafting view with the filled region command.

A boundary of a region must be a closed loop, no intersecting lines, no gap.

yes, no gap, and definitely closed loop.

OR...

Example as the following.

the framing boundary of the image above is not a part of the model.

It is from Paint in Windows Accessories folder.

What about intersecting lines? Share a screenshot. Or, select all the lines in the editing mode, copy to clipboard, cancel out, paste to create a set of lines in the view, then share the file here.

See that orange line? Delete it. Rinse and repeat if necessary.

Thank you for your consistent and quick replies guys.

I deleted as you said, the lines are 7 in total but still tells me the same error msg. (sigh)

That does not look like a closed loop. The vertical line in the middle cannot be there if you want the fill to be the entire large rectangle. You can draw over the region afterwards.

Red line forms a closed loop.

😉

What I did was putting two separately drawn squares put together side by side.

Deleted the center line (which happened to be an overlapping line).

Drew a line on the same spot as a separately individual line.

Still can't allow to have two separate regions but placed side by side, right next to each other ?

Getting me closer to understanding how Revit interprets.

Thank you.

How is that a closed loop? Get rid of the vertical line in the middle.

You still haven't showed us the desired result.
