proper elevations from archicad

[Anonymous]

i would like PM to produce my dimensioned elevations in a legible way, so that i can distinguish between materials. Thanks to Djordje, I can now implement the parallel views from archicad into PM. however, i am printing in B/W, and PlotMaker prints everything too dark. also, how can i change object pen weights to portray relief? lastly, my wall ends are appearing on my elevation views? is this my mistake or a PM flaw? thank you for your help.

Lindsay - It sounds like you could greatly benefit from a few hours w/an ArchiCAD tutor. Maybe your reseller could hook you up? When I first started w/AC, I went to a few seminars put on by my reseller. It cost some $$, but was sooooo worth the time, energy and $$. Invest in learning - it will save you a ton of time and $$ - not to mention your drawings will look like you want them to.
