My elevations look flat. In autocad we would use a heavier lineweight for outlines of walls/objects that are in the foreground. I don't want to decrease the value of the objects on the walls beyond, I just want to show that the finishes are on different planes. Is there a way to do this? Thanks, Steve

Maybe this is a wishlist item. I could think of many uses for a solid white filled region that allows for varying degrees of transparency. You could setup similar materials with varying degrees of grey and paint the exterior walls that are farther away with a lighter material but the lighter pattern would show in 3D views as well.

It's pretty simple: use Tools->Linework Hope it helps.

Thank you very much for your responses. Now, two more things. 1. The interior elevations look more like sections because they show cut materials. For instance, in a room with a sloped ceiling I can't adjust the clip to match the slope of the roof, the roof then appears as a cut section. 2. Second, in a room with a sloped ceiling the ceiling conceals the finishes on the far wall. In my particular case I have a bump out in the wall so I can't locate the view line close enough to the far wall. Thanks again.

1. We use Solid White Filled Regions to "crop" interior elevations 2. You might use another Filled Region with the pattern of the far wall. This way you can "extend" the wall to it's actual height while masking the ceiling that is being cut. You can make the bottom edge of the filled region with an invisible line so one can't tell where the wall pattern ends and where the filled region pattern begins. Post edited on 2006-02-23 19:04:21
