better looking sections - advanced section properties control

[lupin]

I'm yet to try 2017, so my wish might already be true?

 

I'd like to generate good looking 2D architectural drawings from BIM without too much messing around.

It would be useful to generate sections that have a heavy line for the objects in section, but retain the object's own fill.

 

As it stands I have to:

a)

3 overlapping section viewports - one for the object's own fill, one for a heavy section line using a section style with no fill, one for the site model only with a section style with fill.

OR

b)

manually draw over a viewport in annotations - not great for changing the model, and is an annoying hybrid of BIM and 2D drawing

 

 

You could generate pretty good sections straight from the model with:

a)

"advanced section properties - attributes - separate cross sections"  if you could control line and fill options individually. PLUS

b) a site model fill option somehow OR

c) another way to deal with it might be if section viewports used the same attribute settings as Top/Plan...

Hmmm...without doing a search at the moment I think there is a thread that was going on that is fairly recent dealing with your wish.

If you've got time do a little searching.
