Anthony Reilly Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 (edited) Hi all, I'm working on a ground plan for a stage set and was wondering about hidden lines. Can Vectorworks determine when part of one platform is under (in back?) of another platform and change that part of the platform outline to a hidden or dashed line? I know that's crazy, but I thought I'de just check before splitting an object and changing the line attributes. I also know this might be breaking question etiquette, but if I have to draw the hidden line, how would I draw it so that the dashes are printed in the same scale on paper, even if the scale of the entire plate is changes? Thanks much, A Edited October 5, 2009 by Anthony Reilly Quote Link to comment
