Composite Wall SHow Colour in Section

Ode1

Hi.

I have a composite wall that shows a red dashed line through the centre. The red only shows on the floor plan. I would like it show in section (2nd pic) as well but don't know what to do. Any ideas?

It used to work in A17 but stopped by 20 if not 19...

Thanks.

Are you using a different pen set in your section?

Or in your section settings,

You have the cut elements set to use 'uniform pen'.

If you pick an edge of a fill you can override the line type and colour

 

I use this to add a reference line to say a wall that aligns with my grid lines

Exactly! I will swear I have unticked the uniform pen box and didn't get a result but I probably had something else ticked that overrode it.

Thank you as usual for your help.
