In this video, Shaun Bryant shows you how to work with—and create—line patterns in your Revit projects.
- [Instructor] We're staying in…our OFFICE_Reception Area.rvt file,…and you'll notice we're still…in the ground floor plan as well,…and we've still got our little detail lines here…that are red, and dashed,…and set to a specific line weight in the line style.…Now, what we're gonna look at now,…are our actual line patterns.…Now these are what relate directly back…to line types in AutoCAD.…Line patterns are the equivalent of.…So, in this particular case,…our dashed lines, our line style…are using a dash line pattern.…
Which basally is those dashes and spaces there.…So if I go to the manage tab and go to additional settings…in the settings panel, you'll see that we've got…line patterns here, like so.…So if I jump into this line patterns dialogue box…you can see there's all my line patterns there…and there's the dash line pattern that is being used…by this particular line style…to create these detailed lines.…Now you'll notice that I can edit…any particular line pattern, so I've got dash selected…I click on edit, and I can go in there…
