If you’re detail level is set to Course, the vertical bracing showing in a plan view is shown offset from centre of columns (or grid) in a dashed line

My question: Is there a way to make the vertical bracing (Course detail level) in plan show up centred on column instead of shown offset ??

I hope this makes sense

Cheers

What is the bracing placed as? Is it a revit family? componet?  Eitherway you will most likely need to go into the family and see what symbolic lines are shown that is making the offset show at different detail levels and change the object style in the family.

The out-of-box families do not work for most bracing, unless the bracing member is symmetrical. Tubes, pipes and WF work OK. also the Double angle family works. But single angles and WT's do not work. But single angles and WT's can work if the family is revised for bracing, so that the bracing members center reference plane works with the analytical layout of the bracing.
