cased opening plan view

[jmartinarch]

Is there a way to get cased openings to show dashed lines for the overhead part of cased opening? I gave up and placed lines to show my intent. Without the dashed lines we don't know if the opening continues to the ceiling or not.

jmartinarch,

There is a way!

First set up a Class that will have the linetype you'd like to see for the cased openings. Make sure that the "Use at Creation" button is checked.

You'll need to be in the 2D Visualization menu of the door settings to start. Under the 2D Visualization options make sure that Draw Wall Lines is checked. Then set "Set Attributes By:" to "Class". Down the list you will see a category called "Wall Lines" From here, select the Class that you set up earlier that uses the Linetype you'd like to see. That's it. You'll need to insert the door in a wall to see the results.

Cheers.
