https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/hidden-lines-of-complex-profile-by-beams/m-p/114044#M60209 I wanted to bump this post as i've struggled with this as well. The output of a complex profile is wildly different when using different tools. I've had a similar profile (swimming pool gutter) with radius corners. The wall tool had too many lines the beam tool not enough for floor plan representation. I ended up using the beam tool with segmented corners instead of true radius and then added linework/fills to get one more level of detail.<BR /> <BR /> Based on the screenshot and assuming it's below the cutplane i would expect to see four uncut lines. two representing the outer edges and two representing the inner lines of the upper half of the profile.<BR /> <BR /> anyway to achieve this?

I've attached a plan image of a railing with a cap. I want the inside lines to be displayed as hidden. Does anyone know how to accomplish this?<BR /> <BR /> I have tried using beam AND wall to no avail.<BR /> <BR /> I use AC14. Has this been fixed in subsequent versions?<BR /> <BR /> Why on earth are all lines displayed in the first place?<BR /><IMG src="https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/14154i363962337ECE067B/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" border="0" alt="complexwall.png" title="complexwall.png" /> Mon, 14 May 2012 17:14:12 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/hidden-lines-of-complex-profile-by-beams/m-p/114045#M60210 Anonymous 2012-05-14T17:14:12Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/hidden-lines-of-complex-profile-by-beams/m-p/114046#M60211 <BLOCKQUOTE>LINZ wrote:<BR />I have a similar problem.
