Interior Elevation tool or Sect/ Elev tool ?

[Anonymous]

i still learning which tool is best for the task. so far, i've been using either the sect/elev tool for interior elevations. now i wanted to learn the proper tool for the task, ie interior tool for interiors. but after some trials and reading other forums, it seems like the tool is difficult to use ?

my problem with it:
- i can't seem to change the color or line type for the front and back lines. i can change the marker head ok but the lines i'm having trouble with.

some questions:
- for single interior elevations, is it best to use the sect/elev tool ?
- it seems the interior tool is best to make multiple elevations at once, but once you make them, doesn't seem difficult to adjust individual ones ?

IE Tool is best for straight-forward rectilinear rooms. You may have more success with the Elevation tool for complex geometries.

By "front and back lines" are you referring to the Marker range? The Pen is set in Project Preferences > Miscellaneous.

oh thank you for the marker range line color location. the default is this puke green that drove me crazy !

I have not had good experience with the Interior Elevation Tool. I only use the section/elevation. Hopefully, improvements will come in the future to make this tool more functional.

another question on the elevation tool.

when i use it with limited depth, it creates two lines. i know line 1 is the depth but what is line 2 ?
