Revit 2025: Making Lines Invisible

by John Flanagan

Introduction

Revit uses various Line Styles: Solid, Hidden, Centreline etc. In addition, we also have ‘Invisible lines’. As the name suggests this is a Line Style that cannot be seen, the line still exists but is invisible. This blog shows an example where you may want to use it.

Linework

The ‘Linework’ tool overrides the line style for a selected line in the active view.

The ‘Linework’ tool can be found in the Modify Tab – View Panel - Linework.

Select the ‘Linework’ tool, pick the line you want to disappear, select the ‘Invisible Lines’ line style from the dropdown in the ribbon.

There may be coincident edges so keep picking until all the lines are changed to ‘Invisible.’
