I have been using AutoCAD a lot more recently for fab prep and really love how the trim and extend commands work/have evolved in ACAD compared to Revit especially where lines cross. I started on ACAD in 1992 and Revit in 2006 and mostly work in Revit now.
Is there a way in Revit sketch mode to trim out the portion of a single line from where it crosses two intersecting lines besides utilizing the "Split" tool, check the "Delete Inner Segment" check box, then hover/tab to select and split the line I want to trim in two locations as illustrated on the video clip below (5 or 6 steps)? In ACAD its a two key command and a single click to achieve the same result.
If there isn't a better way to achieve this in Revit, I would love to see some trim features similar to AutoCAD. Also enjoy AutoCAD's (newer?) ability to extend lines automatically to the next intersecting line with the option of selecting a different boundary when desired. Unless I'm missing something it appears Revit could use some improvement with Trim and Extend. Any feedback or suggestions are appreciated.
Oh, and if anyone can tell me a good use for "Split with Gap" I'm all ears. It only appears to work with walls, pipes, and other parametric line based elements but for the life of me I can't figure out a use case. The "Split with Gap" command does not appear to be available when modifying sketch lines, detail lines or model lines.
