What is the easiest way to change the display of walls below the current view to show as hidden lines? I have a grade level at 0 elevation where I'll have 6" concrete stemwalls for a residential project. And I want to display the 12" x 12" footings below as hidden lines as they would normally be in a foundation plan. In other words, I want my foundation plan to illustrate as in the attachment. Thank You

Thank You. I got it.
For anyone else searching- select the walls below, r-click and override graphics in view, change projection lines to hidden.

well... that's one way to do it. but WWHub's way is much better - and easier.
if you add more walls, you'll need to apply new overrides.
If you decide you want to change the projected line pattern to something else, you'll need to select all the walls again and apply new overrides.
WWhub's mentioned way would just be a onetime setting, and your done - all future objects will adhere. And only need to change it in one place should you change line pattern's in the future.

Thanks Blue442 but that's the way I originally wanted to do it but it changes ALL the walls in the view.
I don't want my 6" concrete stemwalls to be dashed. Only the footings below. See attachment.

I see. You're nut cutting through the walls. You're above them. Yes, I believe the override would be the choice in this situation.

You call them stem walls but they appear to be footings so that's why I recommended FG. You appeared to have confused Blue442 because he indicated walls. Footings are in a seperate category from walls so you should do it there for the reasons blue gave. Much better off than individual over-rides.
Another method if you want selective foundation (stem) walls is to use a filter with that particular wall type.

Thanks WWHub. You're correct, (assuming that the footings, below the 6" stemwalls were drawn as structural foundation), but I made the mistake of
drawing them as 12" generic walls on the lower, (footing), level. Then I drrew the concrete stemwalls at grade level. So they are both walls the way
I have them drawn. Gonna fix that right now.

Ah! I see...
We generally use regular walls for foundation walls since it is usually an occupied space...
Thanks WWhub
