AC11 - Linetypes in Complex Profile

[Anonymous]

How do I get a foundation wall profile to show dashed lines at the footing in PLAN view?
So far, I can only manage to get solid lines and it looks very confusing.

I figured it out...I needed to change the Stretch Line locations in the Complex Profile editor to be ABOVE the footing.
Now my Plan View looks fantastic.

I'm glad it is looking suh-weet, but I doubt the stretch lines had anything to do with it. The simply determine which part of the complex profile changes when you alter the height or stretch it. Hence the name. What you probably did, whether you know it or not, is move the cut plane, or move the wall vertically in space.

I'll pose that scenario in another thread...

Best of luck with that. Talk to your local reseller if you haven't already. They're pretty good at that!

Hey Link...you are right...wasn't the Stretch Lines.
Not sure exactly what I had set wrong, but must have been something with the Story heights and the location of my foundation walls vertically.
