You can't trim or in this case SPLIT the ellipse...

I tried to both trim and split the ellipse to no avail.  When I'm in either the Trim or Split tool and hover over the ellipse, it doesn't get highlighted, as if it's not an option.  It won't let me select it in either of those tools.  I wonder why it's working for you...  Mine is drawn as a Detail Line, if that matters...

I told you before, you can't TRIM or in this case SPLIT an ellipse... you can draw half ellipse and after draw the other half...

Well, someone said they just did it. 

 

Sorry, by the way, for my repeating replies.  I didn't realize that refreshing my browser was resending it. 

 

Thanks for responding.

I'm using Revit 2009.  Strange that you seem to be able to do it, yet Typhoon says it can't be done...
