Precast Inverted T Display Options

Anonymous — Mon, 14 Aug 2006 02:20:37 GMT

Can anyone answer a simple question - In plan view, how does one have the outermost edges of a "precast inverted t" show up to be a dashed line (I believe they are referred to as the overhead line) while having the inner two lines (the cut lines?) show up as solid? I can get the four lines to show up all as solid, or two lines at a time, but not all four as I would like - i.e inside two solid, outside two dashed.

BTW, I can get it to look the way I want (and the way it should be for a foundation) when using the Foundation Conc with Brick Ledge complex profile.

Thanks for the help.

make the floor plan cut plane at a height whereby it cuts through the inner two (top part) of the inverted 'T' and change the uncut line pen to dashed.

(i know - this will stuff up everything else you've got going on and so is probably not especially helpful . . . but it is possible )

Is that a better solution than using a Patch, which I have been using so far?
