Hello guys, is there any possibility to manage the order of Revit’s objects? I mean, I have a problem with overlaying lines. Commonly Revit displays elements like I would like them to be, but when it comes to printing, overlying lines are printed in different order then it is shown on the screen. …

I’m going to stick my neck out… No it’s not possible (ok someone will prove me wrong!) But you could maybe get each wall and run an intersect check against furniture, then if you get a true, move it 25mm in the vector of the wall surface normal? It sounds like a lot of memory so your PC might str…

My method was to always have a slight offset to my furniture if/when this is an issue, but 99% of the time it’s not when you put an actual cost on it. You could try layering a second version of the plan with a 0 unit depth (so all you see is the cut elements) over the top of your other plan.

And they have very restrictive standards of graphic used. So if i had to overlay 70+ plans o…

[image] Jacko: So if i had to overlay 70+ plans of apartments with another 70+ plans without furnishing it would be really time consuming… I agree. Unless you used Dynamo to do the overlay for you. :wink:

Cause they have to be like that :smiley: As I said. Our developers have restrictive standards. What’s more when we are working on the project we usually put families next to the wall. If I had to move aside all families it would take ages, or my PC would explode if done by Dynamo script …
