connector symbols

[GHASEM_ARIYANI]

hi
When working in the Revit Family Editor, connector symbols (e.g., Pipe, Duct, and Electrical connectors) often lack sufficient visual flexibility, which can negatively impact modeling efficiency and geometry management.

Currently, connector graphics can obstruct underlying geometry, especially during zoom operations, making it difficult to accurately edit and coordinate family components.

Therefore, enhanced visualization controls for connector symbols would significantly improve usability and modeling precision.

Suggested Improvements
1️⃣ Transparent Background for Connector Labels

Provide an option to enable transparent text backgrounds for connector labels.
This would allow users to clearly see family geometry behind the annotation and avoid visual obstruction.

2️⃣ Adjustable Connector Symbol Size

Introduce a parameter or UI control to adjust connector symbol scale independently from view zoom.
Connector symbols can become disproportionately large when zooming in/out, sometimes covering critical geometry and limiting modeling accuracy.

3️⃣ Visibility Control for Connector Graphics

Add options to control the visibility of individual connector graphic elements, such as:

Direction arrows

Crosshair indicators

Text annotations

Reference axes

This would allow users to tailor connector visualization to their modeling needs.

Benefits

Improved modeling precision in Family Editor

Better geometry visibility and coordination

Reduced visual clutter during detailed editing

Enhanced user experience for MEP content creators

Increased efficiency in complex parametric families
