Battle of the “line” overrides

There are obviously a lot of graphic overrides in Revit. Just in regard to “line weights, line patterns and line colours” here is the ranks of what wins out the line overrides

1. Line Work Tool
2. Override graphics in view by elements
3. Filters
4. View Depth -Beyond system line type (plan views only)
5. Phasing graphic overrides
6. Advanced model graphics – silhouette edges.
7. Visibility / Graphic overrides – Halftone
8. Visibility / Graphic overrides – Override host layers (Cut line styles)
9. Visibility / Graphic overrides - (projection & cut lines)
10. Project object styles

Note:
Design options – to use the line work tool or override graphics in view by elements on items in design options, you must be in edit mode in the design option.

Area boundary lines & the Align tool.

I’ve had a suspected bug confirmed by Autodesk today. Care needs to be taken when using the Align tool on Area boundary lines and also Room separation lines.

After using the Align tool

I would avoid using the align tool on Boundary lines until the problem is fixed.

Exporting dwg files to Shared Coordinates

Just a note:

You can only export to a dwg file with shared coordinates from the view and not from a drawing sheet, even though the dialog box gives you the option when exporting a drawing sheet.
