I would like to show the outline of a masonry wall above an opening with a dashed lined but the "Top" of the View Range does not appear to have any effect on what I see in plan. As shown in the attached sketch, I want to cut through an opening and indicate that there is masonry above. I'm not concerned with what is going on below, which seems to be much easier to deal with in Revit. Any advice? Revit Structure 2009.

Create a new door family with symbolic hidden lines in the opening. You will have to constrian the hidden lines so that they stay at the wall edges....Family editing maybe another topic  Once you have your "door" looking the way you want it to look, go to Settings>Family Category and Parameters. Change the type to generic model (I dont think there is a better choice for this object. Now you have a opening object that shows the symbolic lines above. You could also draw detail lines and lock them to the wall edges, but i dont like that method much.

Thanks. This seems to work. Is it possible to create a door family with an editable size as opposed to having to duplicate Family Types for each size of opening? I'm envisioning something like the Wall Opening tool, ideally.

yes, use reference planes for the widths (which im sure they are there already) and use an Instance parameter instead of a type for the dim label.

Is there a way to change the Line weight for the symbolic lines which are specified as Hidden Lines [projection]? I don't necessarily want to change all hidden lines in the main model to be heavier, just for this family.

Edit your family. Go to object styles. Create a new subcatagory (or "Layer" :p ) call it Overhead or something that describes it well. Set your color/weight/pattern. Change those lines to that newly created style, and load into project.

I've created a Subcategory called Overhead with the properties I want, which looks correct when I designate that line type in the Family. When I go to my main project, however, the line type always shows up as a thin, dashed line despite whatever it is set as in the Family.

once its in your project you have to change the settings in the project, not the family.
