New! Break Line Detail Component
This week we’re adding to our Revit Content Pack for Architects with a simple, but essential detail component to help you better manage break lines in detail views. Break lines (sometimes called joglines) are a standard symbol added to engineering plans to indicate that not all of an object is shown and elements not affecting the design are omitted. Take, for example, a column with a decorative capital (top) and plinth (bottom). Since the vertical span of the column doesn’t change between the elements, a designer may choose to reduce the necessary view height with a break line.
Applying to Revit
Though a standard symbol, a double break line (as shown above) can be difficult in Revit. The asset we’ve added to CADD Community solves this problem with a fully adjustable detail component. In addition to placing two break line symbols, it will mask whatever rests in between.
This new break line detail component joins a dozen of other families and detail components already inside our Revit Content Pack for Architects. This content pack is one of nine exclusively available to CADD Community members.
