Show Dash Lines when some part of a family is covered by Mask region

[Anonymous]

At elevation view, I saw a window family when some part of it is covered by masking region Revit shows that part by dash lines. how is it possible?

I don't believe it is possible when covered with a mask region.

It is possible. please take a look at the screencast the masking region only works for this window family also it is the only making which can do this feature!

I totally confused.

Wow that's... pretty neat. I've never seen that before. I'll keep my eye on this thread to see if someone comes up with the answer.  I'd like to know too.

.... wow ... this is crazy fun !!!!

... never ever saw something like this ....

I wonder if a series of symbolic lines were drawn in the family.  Then they might show through a mask applied?  Would have thought that would have been masked too, but maybe there is a way to keep it in front?

This is accomplished using the Show-Hidden-Lines tool on the View-Tab. 

• activate command
• first selection:  the masking region
• second selection: the element you wish to show through the masking region.
