Can wall ends be displayed with a thicker line in elevation?

Is the an option to assign a thicker line weight to the corners of walls in elevation? I'm currently drawing in the lines as shown in the right hand image. Would be great if this could be automated somehow.

Cheers

The only automation you have with elevation is to use the 'Marked distance area' option.
With this active your elevation will have 2 limits for distance.
Everything in the front limit will remain as modelled and everything in the rear limit will have it pen thickness reduced - or you can override the default settings.

Found it finally! We use Cadimage coverings which have a specific pen for wall edges , window openings etc. Its under 'Display Options' -> '3D + Section' -> 'Wall Outline'

Very useful
