The H-Factor

From a Customer:

"We’re engineers. As such our expectations for plans are a little different than installers. We need to use clear, consistent 2-dimensional symbols and simple lines to represent pipes without fittings. Right now all of our projects are showing top-down 3d models in plan view and every single pipe fitting. This makes it challenging to review the components for ourselves and our jurisdictional reviewers.

Is there a function we’re missing that would allow us to simplify the plan views?"

There is:

Each view in Revit has three (3) potential detail levels. The detail level button is here:
