Is it possible to automatically create a bold contour line in elevation view?

[alessiofazzi]

I would like to have a bold line that contour the main subject of an elevation, like in this sketch?

Operating system used: Windows

You could setup a view with layer combinations, model view options and graphic overrides to get close, but I think you will still see an outline for doors and windows as well. You could stack this view on top of your normal view on the layout.

We use a similar approach to show basement level contours as dashed lines for our elevations. But basements generally don't have doors and windows on the outside.

There is no automatic way to do this.

The workaround is to draw a rectangle around the elevation and then magic wand a polyline in the space.

   1. Use scissors to remove extra line elements
