MaltbyDesign Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Hello All, I have demolition items that I've assigned red dashed lines to in their classes. Walls, Floors, Roof Faces all show dashed lines in plan but when I view the model in elevation, they all show red solid lines. The Roof Face, in elevation, shows as a black solid line, not red per class. Is there anything I can do to show these items as dashed lines (per their classes) in elevation just as they appear in plan view? Thank you! Quote Link to comment
Tom W. Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Line Types can only be applied to 2D objects so they display in Top/Plan + on the cut plane but not in elevation or beyond the cut plane because these are 3D views. But what you're trying to do is not unreasonable. Not sure if there's a way of doing it other than using a combination of annotations + stacking VPs. Something like this: 1 Quote Link to comment
MaltbyDesign Posted March 20, 2021 Author Share Posted March 20, 2021 @Tom W. I was hoping there was a way of doing this that I was missing other than having to go in and "fudge" it in the annotations. I wonder if anyone who develops this software has actually had to produce a set of construction documents? Very frustrating to be always having to find workarounds for things that are, in my mind, fundamental to the task of drawing production. 1 Quote Link to comment
