Amelia S Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I?m having an issue with window trim line weights in elevation. We?re working in stucco and I want the trim to be subtle in the elevations. I have given the exterior trim its own class with a light line weight, but I?ve realized that in a hidden line elevation, the trim?s line weight is controlled by the wall class (shown in green in the attached image). Is there anyway around this short of building the trim manually? I want the edges/ corners of the walls to be a medium weight, but the trim to be different. P.S. The attached image also shows another problem I'm having: Notice that three of the window's edges are green (wall-exterior class) and the other is black (window class). Does it sound like I'm doing something wrong? Any feedback is very greatly appreciated!! VW 2014 Quote Link to comment
Guest Wes Gardner Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Hi Amelia, Check out the enclosed file. I have my wall styles modified a little from what ships with the program. I've set the wall's line weight WAY up... Does this help? Quote Link to comment
VincentCuclair Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) This sometimes helps: select the window in plan view and Send to Front. Otherwise it's a classic #BIMFail, individual line control for VPs has been wished for many times especially for Section VPs...... Edited June 13, 2014 by Vincent C Quote Link to comment
Amelia S Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 Thank you both so much! Wes I really appreciate you uploading that - it was great to experiment with. I'm not sure if sending the windows to front helped but between the two suggestions, I've been able to fix most of the line weights in my elevation. THANK YOU! Quote Link to comment
