Overhead Linetype Problems

griggadee — Tue, 23 May 2023 12:34:15 GMT

Hi Folks,

Could anyone please help me with the following.

I have a roof element on the fourth story that has a 25% cover fill with a solid outline. The floor plan display is set to 'outline only' and the show on stories setting is set to 'home story (4th) and one floor down'.

Unfortunately, on the third floor the cover fill comes through but the roof outline comes through as a dashed / dotted line instead of a solid line. See the attached JPEG which clearly shows the overhead linetype set to a solid line.

I have snooped around including checking the model view settings but cannot seem to resolve this. Any ideas anyone?

Cheers,

Paul

I have observed that when using "outlines only", the overhead line in stories below is controled by project preferences->construction elements. When using "projected with overhead" the roof's outline overhead line type takes precedence.

As for the fill, use "custom" instead of "home & one floor down" to adjust the settings.

Thank you so much sincev6. Changing the linetype in 'Project Preferences > Construction Elements' worked great! The fill remained as it should be.
