Filled region boundaries dissappear

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I've run into some problems with filled regions. I have a wall that I fill in, but zooming in and out makes the border outlines dissappear. Example:

Zooming in leads to this:

I suspected this had something to do with overlapping, however when using Hide in View > Elements while the wall was selected didn't do anything.

I'm lost. What to do? 😞

Hi afsedum

I am having problems understanding what do you mean.

Are you drawing filled regions on top on walls?

Are the cut hatchs from the layers of the walls not showing the common lines (edges) ?

If the boundaries of the filled regions are invisible is because the line type used to draw the boundary is invisible.

Could you do a screencast to explain the problem, please?

Yes, I am drawing filled regions on top of walls.

The problem is that when I zoom in and out the walls around the filled regions dissappear, which makes working with the view very annoying.

I attached a Screencast to this post. Notice how the walls dissappear when all I do is zoom in and out.

This is very odd. I would try changing the settings of graphics acceleration.

See attached, if everything fails.... Better change the visibility of your walls to be coarse level of detail and change the cut hatch for a hatch similar to the filled region.

It is a better, simple approach and reduces the need of creating unnecessary 2D elements on top of 3D geometry.

Hi @Anonymous,

Did you check that you draw filled region with the right outline?

To make it clear, the filled region will lay over the 3D model. So, as it will be non transparent (otherwise you will se through it) it will cover half of the outline of the wall.

Revit doesn't like that very much and will not display it very well when zooming in / out.

Just apply the same width to the outline of your filled region (in sketch edit mode, select the lines and pick their style)

Should solve your problem!

Cheers,
