About this asset

Double break line Revit family for construction documentation, providing a standard annotation symbol for truncated drawing elements. This double break line is a standard 2D detail component designed for Revit documentation. It features a clean, geometric line-work pattern consisting of two opposing triangular notches centered within a linear segment. The geometry is vector-based, ensuring crisp output when plotted at any scale. It is intended for use in drafting views or directly over model geometry to indicate that an element is partially hidden or truncated. The line weights are controlled by the project's standard line styles, ensuring consistency with the overall graphic language of the construction set.

The download is a 287 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

Load this detail component family into your project to annotate technical drawings. Once inserted into a drafting view or onto a sheet, the element can be stretched or adjusted to align with the scale of the drawing. It is designed to be placed over existing lines or views to signify a break in the object. Users can modify the instance properties or adjust the line weight settings within the Revit project to maintain compliance with office CAD standards.

Essential for architectural and structural construction documents, this symbol is used to truncate long elements such as beams, columns, or architectural profiles that do not require full-length representation. It is frequently employed in structural sections, wall details, and interior elevation sheets to save space while maintaining technical clarity. Professionals use this to manage drawing layouts efficiently, ensuring complex assemblies remain legible. It pairs seamlessly with standard dimensioning and tagging workflows across residential, commercial, and hospitality project documentation sets in Revit.
