In Autodesk Revit Structure, we can get different hidden lines by setting a parameter called: Display in Hidden Views
Use the following case to explain how to:
There is a floor and a T shape beam under the floor (See Figure 1).
(Figure 1)
Select the beam and click edit family. In beam family editor, open family category and parameters dialog, for parameter "Display in hidden views", there are 3 options (See Figure 2):
1. Edges Hidden by Beam Itself
2. Edges Hidden by Other Members
3. All Edges
(Figure 2)
Let's apply the 3 parameters and compare the differences:
1. Edges Hidden by Beam Itself, only show beam edges in hidden line which are hidden by beam itself (See Figure 3)
(Figure 3)
2. Edges Hidden by Other Members, only show beam edges which are hidden by floor (other member) (See Figure 4).
(Figure 4)
3. All Edges, represents edges including 1 & 2 (See Figure 5):
(Figure 5)
You can also find this parameter in concrete column family editor as well.
Does this feature behave the same way for Revit Architecture, or is it just Revit Structure?

Are there any similar settings for a edge sweep using Slab Edge?
