Revit (2016) Line Changes Type When it Exceeds a Given Length

A Revit detail line (Solid #6 width) is solid until it gets longer than 101' 11".  At 102' or longer, it changes to a Center Line Type!  When it is shortened to less than 102' it returns to a solid line.
Any thoughts?

what happens if you change scale?

what line style is applied to that object type?

Is that object being overridden in the view? (vg or template)

 

i wonder if there is a line type applied, but due to the scale it happens to change to continuous since it is too short for that view?

1. It's happening on a site plan, so the scale is 1" = 30'

If scale is changed, same results at different lengths. (At 1" = 40' the line has to be longer to change type, but still does) 

2. It's just a detail line.  It's solid, #6 wide.

3. No Overrides or View Templates

go to:


Manage -> Additional Settings -> Line Styles

 

Expand the window, what is the name of the line pattern used for "#6 wide"

 

I suspect its not "continuous"

That "solid" Line Style definitely not uses the Continuous line pattern.

"Wide" Lines has a Pattern = Solid

is "Wide" the like type you are having issues with?

if so, i would need to see a test file to troubleshoot from here.

 

Otherwise you can check this too:

 

Check VG (or your template) under:

Model Categories -> Lines -> make sure that "wide" does not have an override applied.

 

 

 

also, i used the word "continuous" earlier when i should have used solid.  Sorry for any confusion on that.

Line pattern names mean little to nothing.  Edit the Line Pattern definitions and see what the line pattern "solid" defined.

The "Wide" #5 line is a Revit standard issue, I created the #6 solid line (along with 5, 4, 3, and 2) for various uses.

It was created, as a new sub-catagory in the Manage > Additional Settings >  Line Styles dialog window.

 

Someone entered an override in the VG Lines!

AAAARRRGGGHHH

Thank you for your help!
