Saving double line with multiple components?

[Christian Fekete]

Is this possible to save?

[Guest Wes Gardner]

I'll take a stab at this one...I assume what you're referring to is the ability to show a wall as just parallel lines as opposed to showing it in all its fully-componentized glory?

It's done with Wall Styles and turning off the component classes. A further adaptation/variation of this is to set all the components to be controlled "By Class" - this will give you the opportunity to override the various components and/or toggle them on/off in your viewports as well as adjust graphic attributes. Here're a couple of illustrations and a .vwx file

Play with the Saved Views in the .vwx file to see what it does to the Class visibilities.

Hope this helps

No. I use it for a three component ground line and unfortunately, once you close a drawing the tool resets to default.

There is a fairly easy way to do this: Use the command "Custom Tool/Attribute". It basically writes a little script for you that will recall any settings and attributes as set. Find more info in the Help Files...

Thanks Peter, that's very handy.

You could have a look at the Repetitive Unit or Linear Material perhaps they can do the trick?
