Lines Showing in Hidden Line Visual Style that should not be.

[Anonymous]

I am having an issue with the Hidden Line Visual Style where it is showing lines that are beyond surfaces. I am new to using Revit but I have not been able to find any solutions to this problem via searching through the forums or google. Is there some setting or way to remove these lines. See attached

from "View" tab, click on the small arrow in below photo and uncheck sketchy lines.

I want the sketchy line look the lines that are showing that should not be are the where the wall intersects the roof/floor. See attached image with sketchy lines turned off.

Aha, These lines need to join elements.

use the join tool then the floor (Check multiple) then the walls. same for the roof.

Select Wall and on the ribbon

1. Use Reset Profile
2. Use Attach Top
3. And select Roof

Thank you very much! This made most of the lines disappear once I switched the join order but there are still some lines showing. Is there anything else that you can think off that might be a setting or function that I can change/ utililize?

Thank you 🙂

This is how i joined my walls to the roof though my walls did not extend above the roof. They are below the roof and when I attached to top/base they extend up to the roof. I am going to try with the walls being taller than the roof to see if this might solve the rest of the lines that are still showing on my drawings.

Thank you for your help! 🙂

Regarding the relation between wall and roof, I think these lines are not from the wall.

I think their extent is not matching wall limit.

 What do you mean by their extent is not matching wall limit? I tried to google it and could not find an explanation.

 Thank you.

Can you hide the roof and show what is under? it looks like there are more elements than just the wall

[MostafaElashmawy]

See what I highlighted in magenta below at the edges of roof.these lines are not above the walls. So they don't come from the intersection of wall and roof 

I think that you have some kind of beam or rafter here.

Hi there @Anonymous!

I was taking a look at the issue and have the same request others did. Could you please hide the roof to show us what is underneath? It looks like there may be multiple objects sharing that same space.
