Just one of many ways to tackle the problem.Walls are slightly off axis and may cause inaccurances.
#Revit wall join display windows
If this is for presentations I'd suggest only doing it once, after all the walls have settled down.Īgain, questioning the need at all, if you don't want the centerline running through door and window openings you could keep the duplicate doors and windows and just place all that stuff on a separate workset that was off by default in all views and filtered out your schedules. The fact that the core is so narrow will result in a single line appearance except at much larger scales. Create a filter to override the cut line style and line weight of the CENTERLINE wall style Swap all the walls for your CENTERLINE wall style set all wall locations lines to center of wall Open the group and delete everything but the walls. While all the elements are still highlighted create a group of them. Copy to the clipboard and paste/aligned to the same place. Filter to remove everything except walls, doors, windows and other wall hosted objects. Create a plan view where all you have visible is walls and openings (windows and doors and anything else hosted by the wall). It will have a core only that is 2mm thick. Create a new wall style called CENTERLINE. If you 'really' want to do this ('cuz even if I question the question I hate to leave it unanswered ) I would suggest the quickest way would be as follows And, there is no limitation on what you can do. Have you considered drawing by hand? No computer drawing will ever approach the beauty of a well done hand drawing. In the end, the solution to your requirement will most likely be a workaround.īTW: I suspect that you in fact do want centerlines for presentation drawings. As such, it is too much to expect Revit to accomodate a feature no one else seems to need. I can see that design presentation drawings, which are art as much as science, might make use of centerlines for graphic appearances, as Dimitri notes. Samara's drawings would be an oddity in Tishman's plan room.
This includes meticulous architects like Meier, Vinoly and even McKim Meade and White! As to Dimitri's speculation that it may be useful to the construction industry, how do you explain the fact that 99.9999+% of their other projects do not have these lines and are somehow getting built? Revit does not include this capability because the industry has not demanded it. I do not recall seeing a set with all the partition centerlines shown. I have been an architect in NYC for many years now and have seen drawing sets for thousands of projects (not an exaggeration).
You might want to re-assess 'why' you need to see that centerline on your walls.What Dimitri is saying is that your request is an unusual one. Neither of these is very satisfactory, but if your over-arching concern is to automate the creation of a line in the middle of your wall, these methods may be acceptable.
This will produce two lines very close to each other to represent the boundary between the core and the outer layers of the wall. The other method you might try is to set your core layer to a very small thickness, say 1 millimeter or 1/16th inch. I'm not metric, but the idea is that at a particular print scale, there is a hatch setting that will get you a line in the middle of your wall core, but only at that scale. For the material Graphics, create a drafting hatch pattern made of parallel lines, set the orientation to Align with Element, and set the distance between lines to half your core width at a chosen scale. First, create a wall material to be assigned to your wall core. However, there are two things that might interest you. It's true that Revit is not set up to show a line representing the centerline of a wall.
