Horiz wall break lines in Section Viewports

[Assemblage]

Any way of not having these? Is for a 1:20 detail section through a 4 storey perimeter wall...currently the break lines are appearing at the foot/head of each wall.

'Show wall components' and original object attributes are on, background render is set to 'hidden line'.

I don't understand the question. Can you explain what you mean by Horizontal wall break lines and what you do/don't want them to do?

I don't think there is a way to do this and show the wall components. This would be a good thing to add to the Wish List forum.

In the OIP for the Section Viewport there is a button at the bottom labeled Advanced Properties. On the attributes tab, you have your choice of Merged or Separate Cross Sections.

Merged gives the look you want as long as you don't need the wall components.

You could modify you model to use a single wall for the entire height, especially if this is how the building will be built.

As a last resort, you should be able to draw "white" (or whatever masking color you need) in the SVP annotation to hide the unwanted break lines.

- Merged sections; We've found they're v good for schematic design and design development stages where focus is on spaces created rather than detailing etc, however the drawing set we're preparing now is for construction so the detail wall components are important;

- The upper 3 floors have identical perimeter walls so we've used DLVPs to create these, so a single wall does not seem possible using this method. I guess we could revert to a single wall..it seems useful that adjustments in, for example, windows are replicated automatically via the DLVPs however;

- Will look at the masking

A final important query: we were copying elements from the 3D component into the Hole Component in our hybrid window and door symbols, so that lintels and sills etc are not covered by the Wall in section. We've since been experiencing SVPs which will not update due to lack of memory, and crashes. It could be other things too, but we suspect complicating the Hole Components is a contributing factor so we've swapped these back to simple extrusions. The upshot is that our window sections look like this again (attached), which to any 3rd party will seem wrong or unfinished. This issue must have arisen before but I can't see anything in the posts..? The walls need to be 'sent to back'.
