grafic reprentation shafts

[Anonymous]

How to make a family of shaft is represented graphically according to the standard regulations?

It means, the hole has a solid color when is under my view, and is discontinuous line when the hole is over my view.

Symbolic Lines over Model Geometry would do it.  

For instance, if the family was being cut in a view in which that family geometry was covered up, then only the Symbolic Lines would show through. But if there was nothing covering the geometry, then the solid geometry would be fully visible in the view.  

Refrigerator covered by a ceiling in the View (e.g. View Cut Plane above ceiling).

Refrigerator not covered by a ceiling in the View (e.g. View Cut Plane below ceiling)

Some worthwhile additional info for you:

Also, maybe a family isn't needed at all.  The Linework Tool can get you there as well.

How could I do this for a saft element?

Should the element a specific family be?

I have tried both options, but the Linework Tool is usefull when you have few safts in one plan, but is not usefull when we have to change a lot of them in a lot of floors, like in a tower.

I have tried to work with the view range, but once the view range "cut" my saft element, its grafic is always with the solid pattern.

I would like to know is there is a specific family type for this elements, or instead there is way to do it with Dynamo.

Thanks.

The way I understand it, is that you have an overhead opening (simular to an Attic Access opening) that you want to be represented with dashed lines in Plan View. Is that right? Is so, draw this 2D Symbolic Linework in a separate family and nest it into the family that has the 3D model elements and opening. In the Symbolic Linework, draw an Invisible Model Line in the Z direction that is long intersect the Project View's Cut Plane, and then check the box next to "Show Only if Instance is Cut" under Visibility Settings for all the Symbolic Linework.

Hello barthbradley.

Yes! You got it! the solution you told me sounds really good! I´ll try this week and let you know if it works.

Thanks!
