Yet another visual bug for structural framing

[semi]

Hi,

I recently noticed that my structural framing is plotted correctly whilst in Revit workspace it's different and wrong.

In our template we make our structural framing hidden lines "solid" so we can see the full beam lying on top of the walls:

in plan view I see this:

I want to see the solid lines running through my walls.

But it's ok because in plot preview and in the finished PDF I see this correctly:

So I can only assume this is a visual bug.

btw when I set the hidden lines to "dashed" it shows correctly in workspace:

but as an engineering firm we want to focus on the beams entirely and want it projected solid

So together with this topic: Link 

Can we please get a fix for these?

thanks in advance

What is the highlighted wall type? and the perpendicular one? 

also each one base and top constraint?

View range of plan view?

At glance to achieve what you want you will have to hover over the snapping node at end of the wall , right click , select disallow join. then you can Manually do this.

Are you saying on printed documents you want it to join and not show lines? but while working/navigating the model you do want to see it run through past the face of the wall?

What is the highlighted wall type? and the perpendicular one?  the highlighted object is a beam (structural framing) and the perpendicular is a concrete wall

also each one base and top constraint? floor level to top level minus floor thickness - beam lying op top of the wall

View range of plan view? cut plane = 100 , top = level above , bottom = level

Everything in our projects have a dissallowed join

Thank you.

For W-Flange Beams, when it snaps to a wall, the Start or End Extension becomes unelectable. Regardless of the Visual Style or  Detail level at Medium / Fine to achieve the look you want you will have to manually grab the Shape Handle and adjust. 

For the Beam to achieve the look you want, this would take customization of an RFA beam.

As a structural firm, the case you are dealing with on our end our plan views will show as default, our details/sections will show IRL, and the steel shop drawings are the ones to be 99.9% precise that we then QC and approve.

I don't think you understand the problem here.

My beam is lying ON TOP of the wall regardless of his extents. Visually in 3D its ON TOP of the wall. But in 2D plan I can't see the lines of this beam running through the walls visually in my workspace in Revit.

When printing to PDF though it corrects itself, but them beams stay untouched in the model.

Is this the results you trying to achieve?

-Visual Style: Hidden

-Detail Level:  Medium

-Beam on top of wall

-Plan view solid lines when beam is on top of wall

No, we also want our wall hatches to be visible and see the wall entirely through with a beam on top.

Like so:
