"Wipeout"

[Anonymous]

For everyone who helped me figure out how to show my hidden footings, THANK YOU!

When I drew sections in AutoCAD, I could use "wipeout" to hide whatever was behind a tag or a background mask to hide whatever was in my text.  I could also use a "spline" to shape the earth so that I didn't have a massive chunk of hatching.

Is it possible to do the same thing -- or something similar -- in Revit?

- You can set text and labels in a tag to have opaque background.

- You can draw a masking region in a tag.

- You can use spline to draw a filled region for hatching (but why do it when you have the pattern automatically from the topography?)

...oops. Way off. Ha! 

edit...actually, it does read the way I way initially thought.  Poche Depth?   

...Wipeout=Masking Region.

...one other idea for your consideration regarding the toposurface hatching: make the cut pattern not visible and thicken the projection lines.  As a View or Element Graphic Override. 

FWIW

Under the annotate tab there a thing called region. select that and draw a masked region, not filled.
