Hi is there way that hide object without its dimension?

[firstpin]

i added aditional line on model for dimension. and want to hide only the line which, dimension is linked.

Not if the dimension is associated to the element, but indirectly to visible annotation lines or reference lines then yes. Or you could build a kind of line-based dimension family to use instead perhaps... however the point of having the dimension related to its element is that you're not having dimensions in the drawings floating about unclear as to which dimension they're actually showing.

Thanks. is there built in Line-based dimension family in Revit? or do i have to make my own?

Not that I know of, this is more of a workaround. I don't have one for you either or I would attach it, so yes you would have to create it from the template yourself. Not really sure if it's the best method also, but I just recall using it maybe once upon a time... Just let me know if you're having trouble creating one and I'll see if I can find some time to help you along.

if an element is hidden, the associated dimension and annotations (Tag) will hide along with it. that is just how revit works. you don't need to make a new dimension, do what @martijn_pater suggests. place a Reference plane and lock it to the linework your want to dimension, then dimension to the Reference Plane. when you hide the element, the dimension should stay because its based on the Reference Plane. you can set the Reference Planes to not print in the print settings.

Use ref planes, not lines, to dimension.

Yup but i working on sheets that are with linked models

[hmunsell]

that shouldn't prevent you from placing reference planes. Activate the view on the sheet and place the reference planes and dimensions as needed, then deactivate the view. or just open the view and add the reference planes. once added, they will show on the sheet too.

I found the way!!!
You have to change the colour of object's lines to the background colour in the choosed view.
Right click on element -> Override graphics in View -> By Element/By Category (It depends on how many elements you have to change) -> Surface Patterns -> Foreground -> Color -> (For me it was white but as I said before, it has to be same as the background)
