Imported Formit file into Revit not showing in Hidden Lines

Hello, 

 

We have some complex models that have been modeled in Formit but when I import it into Revit 2022 and shown in Hidden Lines & Wireframe, it doesn't have an outline. Is there a way to have an outline? 

 

See screenshots

 

Thank you!

Try selecting it, right-clicking and pressing Override Graphics in View: By Element. Do any of those overrides work on it?  If not, you are out of luck.

Are you just wanting this for 2D drawings? If so, you may want to load the Formit file into a family (if you haven't yet), draw 2D lines for plan and section views, and hide the actual 3D massing in plan/section/elevation. That way, the clean lines will show in 2D, and your 3D model will show in 3D views/renderings.

 

If you're doing 3D hidden line views, then I don't know what to tell ya.
