DELETE LINES ON SHEETS IN ENTIRE PROJECT

[Anonymous]

Hello,

Is there a way to delete all lines in a project that exist on sheets?  I am trying to delete these lines but the option to "select all instance" "in entire project" is grey' d out.

Reason why is because they fall outside my sheet and is not allowing me to print properly.  These lines were used to align my views and drawing titles.

Hello @Anonymous - 

If the select all instances is not available - then it will be a sheet by sheet process...

Depending on what is on your sheets - it may be easier to create new sheets.

Wow.  Do you know the technical reason why?

We should have Autodesk look into giving users the ability to override program controls in Revit.

If the lines are outside of the border, but on the right side and above the bottom of the border, then you can set the print to zoom 100%, Offset from corner = no margin, and the sheets will print just fine. But if the lines are outside of the border and on the left side then you are screwed. One way to get rid of them (if they are under the same line style) is create a Dynamo Script to do it in batch.

Hello @Anonymous  - I am sorry I do not know the technically reason why, I am sure there is a reason, but have dealt with it myself.

Someone placed them on each sheet so someone will have to remove them.

Future process, add the lines to the titleblock family so they can be removed later by just removing them from the titleblock, or just use invisible lines.

Hi! You can use this Dynamo script. The first node selects all lines on all sheets in the project, the second one deletes everything that passes through it.

Dynamo version - 1.3 and later. Just open DeleteLinesOnAllSheets.dyn file in Dynamo and hit "Run" in the bottom-left corner of the window.
