Two part question - weird lines overtop of doors - and file size after purging.

Two part question..... attached is jpg of a basement pre-sketch where I inserted the same door all over the layout.  In some instances I have 2 lines overtop of the opening (with red circle illustrating the doors) - and other areas I do not have the double lines.  I inserted the door all in the same command - one consistently after the other.

This is a family I created, nothing fancy.  I typically do NOT have this issue on the main floor and above - it only seems to happen in the basement level.  I can use invisible lines and get rid of the two lines over the door - I just want to know why it is happening.

 

My other question is - when I purged this file down and deleted the main floor, got rid of materials, yadda yadda (to post on this forum) - the file went from a 68 MB file down to a 62MB file.  There is nothing in this Revit file - as I purged it down to "0" unused items.  Why is my file so huge (still)?

 

The user file is Revit 2025 - compressed with WinRAR.  Any insight is much appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Post a Revit File (e.g. rfa, rvt). If need be, compress with Windows, not WinZip.
