Linetype for uncut elements in section/elevation

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi guys.

This should be basic. However I cant find the solution...

In floor/plan and section settings in a wall/slab, I can define the linetype for uncut lines and cut lines, this shows clearly in plan view and in a cutview (Section/elevation) when the element is cut.

But I cannot control the linetype for the uncut element in a section or elevation!

Of course I can control ALL linetypes in section and elevation settings.
But how do I get different linetypes for uncut elements in a section / elevation?

Tips and trick would be appreciated, even though I suspect I´m just missing a single setting somewhere...

There is no such setting for Uncut elements in Sections/Elevations. Everything uncut is drawn using the Pen that you can specify, including the 3D Hatch on the surfaces of elements. Maybe this is why there is no Linetype setting because it would also affect Vectorial Hatch lines as well (just guessing).
Or maybe the developers never felt this would be needed by users.

Despite the fact that there is no such option - what are you trying to achieve? Why do you need this?
