In relation to my previous post, I'm continuing on my endeavor to make our piping as good as I can. It was requested to show hidden lines on the elbow down and tee down piping. I achieved this pretty simply in the elbow family by just creating another set of symbolic lines on the other half of the pipe profiles and then creating a hidden line sub-category and assigning them to that. Looks great, prints great.
On to the Tee...
I do the exact same process, in the tee family it is needed in the front/back views, so I created a symbolic line full circle on a hidden line sub-category. Nothing shows up in the plan, it looks the same as before. ![]()
So, I play for a bit and then adjust the Tee fitting to a Part Type of "Multi-Port" (Elbow works too, maybe others) and it shows up great! ![]()
Only problem is, it isn't a Tee anymore, so Revit doesn't use the proper Tee Down single line symbology ![]()
I'd like it to remain this way.
This seems like a glitch to me, why would the Tee part type not show the symbolic lines, while other part types of the same family would.
Yes, I could remove the hidden lines from the families, turn the double line symbol to a full circle in the Pipe System and then adjust the Pipe Drop linework to a hidden linetype in the Object Styles ---> which would be a lot less work in the long run and works nicely ---> BUT, then the single-line pipe down symbol is also hidden, so it looks like this --> <-- which doesn't fly

Any thoughts? Does Autodesk need to fix the Tee part type in the Pipe Fittings family? Or fix the way the single-line elbow down symbols responds to linework overrides. Maybe add more system-baked sub-categories for single line drops/rises and two-line drops/rises.
