Revit OpEd: Detail Level Ignored with Unlocked Wall Layers

Revit OpEd

JUNE 11, 2012

Detail Level Ignored with Unlocked Wall Layers. We can unlock a layer or layers in a wall to allow "pulling" them up or down separately from the rest of a wall. Interestingly, in Ceiling Plan views only, when we take advantage of this we lose the ability to show just two lines with Detail Level: Coarse. ► 2011.

JUNE 13, 2012

If room separation lines are "off the table" then the architect would end up using something else like actual walls and hiding them. When we unload a workset the walls are still there and that means so are Room Separation lines. A zone would wrap up the spaces that are served by a single system as you described. ► 2011.
