Regarding the walls and the way you removed the line, It is better to use "Join". Only if the two walls have a different material you can use the line tool but that is a rare case.

Balkan, these window shapes can be their own video. I think many people would love if you made that video (especially architecture students who make crazy buildings). Thanks for all you do.

In tip 4 with curtain walls, you should only toggle the million join in very specific cases. It's much better to go into the curtain wall settings and specify if the millions should join vertically (default), horizontally or just at the border (my usual default).

Your tutorials on steel connections saved my life a few weeks ago. You've got a fan since then! Greetings from Brazil!

So all the times I've wanted to make a secondary wall type for vinyl siding, all I had to do was "join" it to the host wall... Even after 5+ years of learning Revit I'm still God-smacked at some of the simplest solutions! 😂

I am currently learning Revit for a new job and just found your videos. Thanks a lot, also the comment section here is very helpful.

Use <invisible line> for masking lines you don't want to see. Remember folks, it's view dependant, so if you apply the line in 3D like the video, if you view a 2d elevation, you will see the lines back. If you join the walls.... It will remove the lines from every aspect of the project BUT! They MUST be the SAME MATERIAL TO JOIN.

Tip 1: theres already an "invisible Line" line type. so you dont need to make a new line (its 4 below the <By Category> line type), to undo the invisibile like you just change the line back to <By Category>

Dear Balkan, can you prepare a tutorial which includes architecture merged with structure,
section contains slabs, beams, columns and architectural floors with some details as we typically showing in sections

[deezaar]

for hide a line with lineworks your better choice is existent <invisible line> in "linestyle" section, because if you use a custom work background color, as gray for example instead default white, you will see that white line. so its not the best option to use white line in all cases)

That Wall-as-wall-layer trick is awesome. One thing: I tried to make a thin strip of wood along one of my walls. When I joined it to the main wall, it didn't cut through the window at first. I had to drag the lower end of the new material strip down below the window, THEN it cut out the window void, and then I could put it back to where I wanted.

it feels amazing Mr.Balkan that we really don't know you in real life. And when i say ''WE' i bet most of your students including my self have never met you yet you play a big role in our day to day education journey. I can't get enough words to show how grateful am, let me just say THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES. again i wanna be premium member but don't know how am very keen to know the procedure. meanwhile when am drawing something let us say a wall and go to the 3D i can't see the leveling lines unless i click one of the 4 elevations (South west, North, and East) Abdirahman from East-Africa.

I paused as you went along and did the steps myself and that helped a TON.

The 3rd tip will help me a lot! I used to edit the profile of the front wall. Very good tips! Thanks 👏

[pizzapanda]

The no line hack is amazing😮😮😮
Everything is Amazing 😂 thank you

I can't believe that the problem with double walls and openings was so easy to solve! I have doing it in a much harder way of course! Thank you! colleague from Nis, )
