We have seen some new features and enhancements in Revit 2015. Let’s continue to review some more features.

Show hidden lines

In Revit 2015, we can set 3D view to show hidden lines. You can set “Show Hidden Lines” option to show it by discipline or set to All. If you set it to All, then it will ignore the discipline you selected.

show_hidden_lines

In older release you can only set hidden lines in 2D views, and it will depends on the view discipline.

To support this, now Revit has additional Hidden Lines sub category below these categories:

  1. Structural connections.
  2. Structural rebar
  3. Structural stiffeners
