Pen 91 w/ Black Background

Anonymous

How do you handle using pen 91(white-out) pen with a black background.

I have tried it as a white pen, black pen, etc.

When using a white background, pen 91 obviously white-outs what you don't want printed.

With a black background, it will still white-out what you don't want printed, however it shows up as white and then you don't know, without going back to a white background what in fact has been whited-out.

Thanks, Grant

While AC does join walls properly, that does not always translate into having the core composites join properly, as you can see in the attached image.

Here is where the problem is most evidant. First, the drawing without any adjustment just isn't technically correct. The walls have to join properly, but so do the various composite layers, especially the core. In the image provided, the walls do join properly, but not the core composite.
This is because you are using ArchiCAD 8.1. The cores did not join properly then, but they do now.
