OBJECT STYLE AND VISIBILITY GRAPHICS

[ateniyte]

Hey everybody,

What is the difference between the object style and visibility graphics overrides ? Both them are looking serving same . But I am not sure it is clear for me. If I wanna change my line colour of my wall , what would be the difference between them?

Also, I have a problem of the visiblity of the section. Although it can be seen here , When I export it to Autocad , I am not able to see it or it is like not the scale that we are seeing right now. It has so many dash and dot so ıt looks basically a line. But I want it to be as the standard section line .Thank you..

Object Styles are the Project level settings. Visibility graphics are View level settings. If Visibility graphics for a view is not overridden then they are the same as Object styles.

Ohh I see. While the object style is related to the whole project , visibility graphics focuses on the view of the level . right?

[ToanDN]

When I say level I do not mean building level, sorry for the confusion.  Visibility Graphics are per view, any kind of view; plan, ceiling, elevation, section, detail, etc...  You can have ten views with ten different visibility graphics overrides in your project, but you only have one Object styles for your project.

Oh great, thank you so much. I wish to solve the another problem as well 🙂

How does the section line look in Revit?

The first picture that I uploaded is from revit. Maybe there is a misunderstanding because I tried to make export process from revit to autocad perfect I made the background of revit as black and autocad the black. So, you can have a look at the first picture.

Gotcha. If you export Sheets from Revit to CAD, go to DWG/DXF Export Setup > Lines tab > and set linetype scale to Paperspace (PSLTSCALE = 1).

Check your annotation export settings....they may be exporting as black, thus they are there, but camouflaged.

My problems are that:

I can not see my section line on Autocad but I can see it on Revit. 

The grid line on autocad have a problem of scale . For example If I change linetype scale from 1 to 15 on Autocad ıt works fine just like Revit looking.

It is interesting that pdf file works fine. Everything is just what I wanted it to be.
