Pens in a Composite

Is there some way I can get the line where the end of the core in my wall meets the door jamb to be the same as the lines of the core as they show up on the sides ?





Also, when I want to display the view as a pseudo reflected ceiling plan using a Model View, I want to see the line of the core where it meets the opening with out having to show the opening contours.



I am probably out of luck on both counts. Just thought I would ask anyway if there is a way to do this with settings. I get tired of drawing in lines for that.

Actually, in luck on both counts.

a. Go to Options>Element Attributes>Composites.
b. Check the boxes to have end lines for each skin.
c. Set the pen for the end lines to match the pen of of the outside contour.
