Change the default settings for detail level of structural connections

[joel.van.herwaarden]

Hi everyone,

This is probably not possible, but in Revit you only see your physical geometric representation of you structural connection when you set the detail level of a view to Fine. Is it possible to change this threshold to Medium?

I have views which are in medium detail level, but I want to see my connections. Otherwise I have to change multiple families to Fine...

Please let me know if there is a solution or a workaround.

I haven't been working with structural for a while but I remember that we worked around that by setting view specific Category Detail Level, Otherwise:

1. Either having 2 views: First in medium with hidden connections and the second with Connections isolated then overlay them on the sheet
2. OR by introducing into some of the structural families a Medium-Fine and a Fine-detail assigned to a subcategories where you can display a Fine detail in Medium View and vise versa by switching subcategories on and off

You can set view specific detail level per category through visibility graphics (VV / VG) and ofcourse also include it in the view template optionally...  if not already.
