Wow that first post was a mess pleas respond here 1. If I look at a models 3d section view, and set the view detail level to course. All the slab cuts turn blue. How do I change this to a dark grey? 2. Can I get the ridge lines on the roof pitches to a lighter color, grey? 3. The tape measure tool lists dimensions in 1/256 th's is it possible to make this measure in 1/16 th's or 1/8 th's 4. I use reference plains a lot to draw and measure. Is this a good practice? Should I delete them if not needed or just keep them in the model for future reference? Thanks!!!

1.) Go to "View Properties" -> "Edit/New" to get to the type parameters -> Then change your Coarse Poche Material to a different color. 2)I would use line work on your ridge lines, although you may be able to change the line type for that paticular line under "Roofs" in your Visibility Graphics...I would check that first. 3) For the tape measure I do not think you can get it to change accurace, tape measure is meant to be 100% accurate. 4)Its fine to use reference planes, the only thing is that they can be kind of annoying when trying to draft, so we typically delete them when done using them, or you just just hide them as well. So not a big deal, just depends on if they bother you or not to have them haning around.

Thanks What do you mean by linework on ther roof ridges? I am reffering to the ridge color when viewd in 3D I keep the plains turned of in views until I need them. I guess I will keep using them freely. Go Browns

In the metric version of Revit the project units controls the accuracy of the tape measure tool. To change it go to project units under settings. Use the tool that looks like a pen tip to overide lines in your model, such as the line that refers to your ridge, if this is what you mean.

Wow I thought the line tool was pretty cool until I realised when spinning around the model you can see thru objects to the newly created lines. Am I missing something?

The linework tool is view specific so is typicaly used in the views that you use in your presentation or place on your sheets. If you override a line in a 3D view in hidden line mode then, yes, it will show through your model if you rotate it (this does not happen in shaded modes). This should not be a problem though, as the tool would typically only be used for presentation purposes. If you are using the 3D view to view your model there should be no reason to use the tool. To get rid of the override just duplicate the view without detailing.
