Hello,

 

Is it possible to represent a duct or pipe with 3 lines: 2 solid and 1 dashed (pls see attach)?

 

Thanks

Hi deproject07; Thanks for your quick answer.

 

That's work fine for straight segments; when the duct changes direction the fitting does not follow the graphic representation (pls see attach01).

Another question: I use 3 differents systems (Supply Arir, Return Air and Exhaust) with different graphical representation (attach02). How can i do that in revit?

I just figured out how to do with the 3 system types.

Thanks for your help.

Try this dude, and with click bottom right you have to apply colors with override graphics in view by elements.

go into your project browser / Duct Systems/ Supply Air right click select the graphic overrides button and define the properties for that system

Repeat the steps for each Duct System.

go into visibility graphics and set the centerline line pattern to your choice for Ducts and Duct Fittings

this will be the most consistent result for you regardless of which Duct System you are using and will allow you to switch out systems more easily.

keep in mind that this only works in Visual Style WireFrame
