Visibility parameters in a site family

Hello,

 

I am trying to create a site family which would behave like a grid-line. The point is for the element to be seen when cut straight but unseen when cut in an angle. Basically, the family is composed of two lines, one horizontal for the plan and one vertical for the cut.

For example, you can see in the following screenshots two elements from this family in a plan and in a cut. The top one is cut straight and should be seen in the cut but the bottom one has an angle and should not be seen in the cut. Currently, as you can see in the second screenshot, both are visible in the cut.

My problem is that i don't seem to find a way to do it in the visibility parameters of the family. Is there another way to do it?

 

Thanks in advance

Maybe Revit is showing in every view what needs to be shown. If you want to hide one line in one view but see it in another view, assign each of the two lines in the family to its own custom subcategory, such as "Horizontal" and "Vertical". Then, using VG, turn on or off subcategories as needed.

Change the horizontal line to a symbolic line.

I tried converting the lines to symbolic lines and it worked

Thank you very much
