Revit Silhouette

[Anonymous]

In Graphic Display Options, I love the ability to turn on silhouettes, but unfortunately, it applies the bumped up linework uniformly across my model. So walls get a line weight of 5 which is great, but so do doors, cabinet handles, furniture, etc (way too big of a lw for those). I noticed however that the silhouette was NOT applied to the handrail on my stair (which is exactly what I want). Is there somewhere in Revit that I can say ignore all casework, doors, window, etc. when applying silhouettes to the scene as it did with my handrails? I know I can use LW and set it to <no silhouette>, but then I have to click every object that doesn't get need one in every 3D view. At that point, it's just a huge waste of time and I would rather just not have the silhouettes at all even though they make the drawing look way cleaner.

No, you've described why the feature is seldom used. It doesn't reduce the effort to improve the appearance of a view because it is applied near the very end of the graphic "stack" so other overrides, aside from Linework, don't allow us to restrict which elements are affected.

If they were serious about the tool they'd provide more options for which categories it applies to or move it down in the stack under Filter overrides. The way we could apply the silhouette and then use filters to adjust by category more effectively.
