Use the Detail Line tool to draw detail lines to provide additional information to the model geometry in detail views and drafting views.
Note: If you want to sketch lines that exist in 3D space and display in all views, use model lines. You can convert detail lines to model lines, or model lines to detail lines.
The Detail Line tool has the same line styles as the Line tool, but detail lines are view-specific, like detail components and other annotations. Detail lines are drawn in the view’s sketch plane.
In Revit MEP, detail lines are sketched as full-toned lines.
To create detail lines
- Click Annotate tab
Detail panel
(Detail Line). - Sketch lines as appropriate.
