elevation lineweight

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone,
I'm wondering how to set line weight for elevation.
I've done a forum search but could not find a right answer for my case.
It is this: I wanna set my wall outline in elevation bolder than my curtain wall lines. I've tried the property's setting of both but it doesnt come out right in elevation.
Attached is screen-shot.
Please help or help me with a link.
Many thanks for all.
Cheers,

i think this may involve some complex pen set issue.

you may simply trace again the outline via line tools

btw, nice design!!

Set the item's Uncut pen to what you want, and turn off the elevation setting's Uniform pen for uncut items.

I think Uncut pen may be not suitable for this situation

Do you refer to the cheap draftsman's trick of outlining the building with a heavy line?

Only expensive draftsmen did that.

Hi angus and all,
Thanks for your help.
I have a better understand of how to do it.
Yes I turned all the option True Lineweight. I can get control of Wall Pencolor (therefore, lineweight) in elevation. However I can't get control of curtain wall(window) pencolor (lineweight) in elevation. Do you know how to manipulate it ?

As for the Marked Distant Area, it works in its way, but still I can't get control/modify of the pencolor (lineweight). Maybe I'm missing something.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Try turning on the vectorial sun shadows. They give the elevation much better depth than line weights

Set Uncut line pens to the desired colour.
