The following 2 images show the parameters and formula which are required to define the family: Otherwise use the Metric Generic Model line based.rft should you require the line type to be visible in all viewsĮither of these templates include a Reference Line with a Length Parameter already assigned to it.
NOTE: As well as placing your desired text, you can also place a masking region so that the text creates a gap between the actual line geometry and the annotation.Ĭreate a New Family using the Metric Detail Item line based.rft if you wish your new line type to act like other detail items i.e., only being visible in the view they are placed. So, if you need to create a line type which incorporates some text e.g., GAS LINE, then this is the blog for you.įirstly, create a new Annotation Symbol for your text: For those aren’t, then you will notice in the following image that Revit only allows line types to comprise of Dashes, Dots and Spaces. It’s a question I always get asked by users migrating from AutoCAD, where both text and symbols can be incorporated into the line type definition.įor those of you who have created your own basic line types in Revit you will be familiar with the Line Pattern dialog box. Sometimes you just have to accept a work-around every now and then and that’s the case when it comes to complex line type in Revit.
