Applying or Removing a Line Style for a Silhouette Edge

Revit can automatically apply a line style to silhouette edges. Silhouette edges are view-specific.

After you have applied silhouette edges to the model, there may be edges you do not want to display in silhouette. You can remove these lines as necessary.

To apply a line style to a silhouette edge:

1. On the View Control Bar, click (Visual Style)Hidden Line, Shaded, or Realistic.

   Silhouette edges are not available for Wireframe or Shaded model graphic styles.

2. On the View Control Bar, click (Shadows Off/On)Graphic Display Options.
3. In the Graphic Display Options dialog, in the Model Display panel, select a Silhouette style (for example, Wide Lines).
4. Click OK.

To remove a line style from a silhouette edge:

1. Click Modify tabView panel (Linework).
2. In the Type Selector, select <Not Silhouette>.
3. Select the edges in silhouette, and the silhouette is removed.
