Improving Boundary Line Analysis

I am mildly color blind.  When I'm sketching a complex boundary line (for example for a filled region) sometimes there are several overlapping or gapped lines that need to be repaired at once.  The scale is such that often I won't see any of these in the beginning because I'm zoomed too far out and the visual cueing done by Revit is not sufficiently contrasting to the other lines for me to see where these trouble areas are.  If I zoom in closer to the trouble areas I can always see them but when you look at a highly detailed boundary region from far away these cues seem to disappear. Is there away to make gapped endpoints and overlapping lines more prominent in the visibility graphics settings or elsewhere.  It would make my work go a lot faster if I was able to adjust the thickness or color of these problem lines when I'm in a sketch mode.  This functionality seems like it should be easily accomplished (if it isn't already there and I haven't looked in the right place).

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Are you talking the lineweight of Sketch Line (Manage Tab=>Additional Settings)? Are Thin Lines turned OFF?

Yes, you can adjust the sketch lines under manage>line styles and you can adjust the 'error' lines under file>options.

@mcobb: color-blind?

 

Is this dress black and blue, or white and gold?

On top of adjusting the Sketch Line style, when you get the warning that lines overlap or not a closed loop, click on Show button on the warning window, Revit will highlight the location with bold orange dots.

...Finally saw this on my desktop instead of looking at responses on my phone where the image didn't show.  White and Gold.  🙂
