How can you control visibility in Revit views?

Controlling visibility in Revit views is primarily accomplished through the Visibility/Graphics Overrides dialog. This powerful tool allows users to manage which categories of elements are displayed in a specific view by enabling or disabling the visibility of various object types, such as walls, floors, furniture, and more. In addition to controlling basic visibility, you can also adjust the level of detail displayed for each category, apply filters, and override graphic settings like line weights, patterns, and colors. This level of control is essential for tailoring views to the requirements of different stakeholders, such as contractors, clients, or for presentation purposes.

While options like the Line Style editor, camera angle adjustments, or switching between 2D and 3D views have their specific uses within Revit, they do not provide the comprehensive control over element visibility that the Visibility/Graphics Overrides dialog does. Line styles primarily affect how lines are rendered, camera angles control the perspective of the view but do not manage visibility per se, and changing between 2D and 3D views is more about the mode of visualization rather than specific element visibility management. Thus, utilizing the Visibility/Graphics Overrides dialog is the most effective and direct method for controlling what is seen in your Revit views.
