Ability to hide split face lines (1)

Submitted by Ability to hide split face lines (2)Kevin.Bell on ‎09-06-201712:23 AMStatus:Gathering Support

Ability to hide split face lines

A global control in Visibility Graphics which allows the user to hide the lines which make up the edges of a split face.

At the moment you can only manually hide them with the linework tool...

I have found that at least the 'split faces' can be put on a different workset which helps with visibility control in some instances.

@MichaelWarwick7522.

Hi,

You mentioned the you found split face can be put to a different workset.

Can you please guide how to do it?

Because Splitface doesn't have any properties.

Apologies for taking a while to get back to you, been a while since I had this project open, and opening it takes a while. This is what I see, this project is in 2018, haven't tried in any other version.

Note this doesn't fix the overall problem, it turns the whole split face off, not just the edges. On this project we used split faces for flooring patterns which turned out to be a mistake, every time you move a wall the split faces implode. Any we have had to adjust we have changed to parts which are much more tolerant to changes.

@MichaelWarwick7522 Heii Thanks for the reply.


I can see the splitface can be assigned to a workset but When I turn off the workset, I can still see the split lines on the floor, My question is "I need to hide the split line on my floor plan without using Lineworks".

Is there any effective way to make this happen.

Status changed to:Gathering Support

We're sorry. This Idea should not have been marked as Accepted, however our teams are working on the ability to hide floor triangulation lines in a shape-edited floor as shown on our Revit Public Roadmap.

The work around the I use is to make the lines invisible. If you have a lot of the split face lines it can take awhile to make them invisible but at least for me it seem to be a simple solution.

Split faces are still selectable when their hosts are hidden. Please fix (or at least give us a category to allow us to hide them).

Split face lines are still selectable when their hosts are hidden. I use working 3D views which hide walls, but the split faces on those walls are still selectable, which is unexpected behavior.

Please hide split face lines when their hosts are hidden, or give us a category to hide them.

(EDIT: Apologies for the double post, the board apparently ate my first post until I posted my second post.)

It would be really useful to have some control on the split face lines, not just to hide them, but also to override them.

For example, I'd like all split faces be drawn with a segment line in all my elevations. In order to achieve that, one should be able to control the split face through a view template.

Agreeing with jespinoza.
In restaurant floors, we have the same flooring material (epoxy) but two different textures:

1. anti-slip in foot traffic areas

2. smooth for cleanability under equipment

In the example below, we don't want to draw three different floors in the same room. Easier to draw the floor as a rectangle, then to 'split face' tracing the outlines of the equipment. But we would like the split face line to be either grey and / or dashed. I've tried using Filters, Worksets, Managing Objects Styles (see below 2nd image), but nothing works.

This affects nothing. So why is Split Lines even an option under Floors?

This is how we want it to look. But this involves overriding every single split face line individually. Which is a lot more time consuming and potentially inconsistent than using a filter or a workset or setting an object style globally or with a View Template.
