https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Bad-archicad-day/m-p/190753#M103445 Thanks Barry. That's what I did but it doesn't work. Karl says that it doesn't work for slabs.<BR /> <BR /> Maybe I need to first convert it into a library object and then it might work. I'll try this next.<BR /> <BR /> Cheers Gurus!

My layer is 'overhead joinery'. On the floor plan I want to show it with hidden lines.<BR /> <BR /> Is it too much to ask my lines to show as hidden lines by selecting symbol lines = hidden lines in the Cabinet selection box? It isn't happening!<BR /> <BR /> That is what drives me mad with Archicad - simple things, simple commands, simple words do not mean what they say!!!</T></DIV> Wed, 24 May 2023 11:12:00 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Bad-archicad-day/m-p/190750#M103442 KeesW 2023-05-24T11:12:00Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Bad-archicad-day/m-p/190751#M103443 The walls are easy: for the Floor Plan Display, select Overhead All and set your desired linetype and pen for the overhead lines (hidden/dashed, etc).<BR /> <BR /> Not sure what you mean by the Cabinet selection box.<BR /> <BR /> Slabs do not have this display option. (Frustrating that the display options, including cover fills, etc., are not identical across all tools.) So, if you show them with a hidden line in plan, they will be shown with that line type in section/interior elevation too.<BR /> <BR /> Cheers,<BR /> Karl Thu, 17 Mar 2011 02:09:29 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Bad-archicad-day/m-p/190751#M103443 Karl Ottenstein 2011-03-17T02:09:29Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Bad-archicad-day/m-p/190752#M103444 I'm not sure what you mean by the "cabinet selection box".<BR /> <BR /> If you have saved the walls and slabs as an object then you need to do this.<BR /> <BR /> Barry.
