VISIBILITY HIERARCHY

Revit gives the user a number of ways to override the display of an element.

It may not always be clear which method “wins” over another method, but there is a visibility hierarchy.

This list may not cover every possible scenario but does include common overrides.

10 being the lowest and 1 being the highest using walls as an example:

• 1. Line Work Tool

  2. Override Graphics in View > By Element > Halftone

  3. Graphic Display Options – Silhouette Edges

  4. Override Graphics in View > By Element

  5. View Filters

  6. View Depth – “Beyond” Line Style

  7. Phasing Graphic Overrides

  8. Visibility / Graphic Overrides > Override Host Layers > Cut Line Styles

  9. Visibility / Graphic Overrides > Projection \ Cut Lines

  10. Project Object Styles
