Arched empty doors

Hi there,

why does the dashed line of an empty arch opening turn into a solid line when the arc radius is increased ? Zrzut ekranu 2025-02-3 o 5.53.51 PM.png

The arched opening is not the problem.

It is the projection of the arch in plan that is not actually a curve but made up of many small straight lines that is the problem.

 

Personally I would not show the arch in plan, just make sure there is an elevation of it in the documentation.
