How to hide covered edges

My model has a gable roof with fascia that overhangs the gable end walls. The fascia profile includes the fascia, soffit, frieze, and a roof slope portion. I install the whole thing with one click on the roof edge. I then applied a second roof consisting of asphalt shingles (1/4" thick) to cover everything.

 

My issue is the edges of the roof and the fascia assembly so to speak are visible in Hidden Line view when zoomed out even though they are covered with the second roof consisting of asphalt shingles.

 

I've been using Linework: Invisible Lines and selecting each one to hide them but that is tedious to say the least.

 

Any thoughts?

Use Join Geometry on the Roof and Fascia.

How do I post a screenshot? I'm new at this.

This is something good to know for the future as well. It helps a lot.

 

One way you could do it is by exporting a view to an image file (under Export:Images and Animations). Then you can attach that image file to your post here by selecting "Photos" on the format bar, or selecting "Attachments" below the Body.  

 

That help?

Unfortunately, this one doesn't help me understand any better. But, let me ask you: are you saying this is only an issue when you zoom extents? That it looks correct up close? If so, it may be just too much detail for the view. Meaning that you could just turn off the fascia in the offending view. Keep in mind lineweight. Do you know what I mean? 

 

....a closer view may change my suggestion.

It looks correct when I zoom in. I know what you mean about hiding the fascia in certain views but I need the fascia to show in some views. For example, in the screenshot I could hide the rake fascia but need to show the eaves fascia. Covered edges should not show. It doesn't matter if they don't print. I have not tested if they print. I suspect they do.

Almost looks as though you're in wireframe mode. I say this because of the double ridge lines.  

 

Wanna post the file? Use the "Attachments" option below the post Body to do this.

The double ridge lines are ridge shingles.

When you zoom out far enough Revit treats the elements with thin enough thickness as thin surfaces (for performance reasoning perhaps?).  If you need to have views with small scale, consider turning off not so critical categories/ elements if they don't really bring any value to the graphics except muddy lines and glitches.  Keep them on only for larger scaled views.

Well, the good news is that it doesn't print that way. Smiley (zwinkernd)

 

ps...nice work!
