Silhouette lines should be relative

Silhouette lines currently exist where one object is in front of another object without consideration for how far the objects are apart. This means that a piece of trim that is 1" offset from a wall will have the same silhouette line as a building 50' in front of another building.

 

Silhouette line width should be relative to the distance between the object in front and the object behind. Depth cue is not a replacement for this age old representation of position in elevation and section.

Silhouettes have to get a lot smarter in Revit.

 

They generally work well in 3d views but are pretty useless in 2d elevations.

Check out Rhino's new Make-2d features and how "Whole-scene silhouettes are computed"

 

What Id like to see is for depth cue to apply silhouette lines for each distance.

 

Revit should break down an exterior elevation and 'think':

There are # flat planes of walls in view with more than 4' difference between the distance to each, take everything that's ±1' from each plan and outline it. As you get farther away apply a thinner pen weight outline. The silhouette for each plan should be more like Rhino's where the entire scene gets outlined and less like Revit's where the leading edge of all elements gets outlined.

 

Feel free to let me know if this comment needs a visual explanation and I can produce one.
