Wall contour from current floor on floor above

[Anonymous]

Hello,
I am trying to achieve the projected wall from ground floor story to the roof story.
In picture one, is the effect i achieved using show wall on al relevant storys but i can't see through it, it cuts the roof
In picture two is the effect i want, was made using lines following the contour from the walls bellow.
I think there must be an a way for this, but i can't find it yet.
Any idea is welcomed!

Many ways to do this. The most general solution, so that you see the result in your 2D window rather than just your layouts, is to use the Floor Plan Cut Plane to look down to the floor below.

The walls that you want to see one the floor above need to have their Floor Plan Display set to "All Relevant Stories" and "Projected with Overhead". With your FPCP set to show down to 1 story below, you should see the walls. To get them to appear dashed, you'll have to apply a Graphic Override (if they weren't dashed to begin with).

Be sure to save all of these settings into a saved View.

Thanks. I took a break
I did all of that until the last step and had to create the graphic override. How can i create the graphic override so that on the ground floor the walls remain normal and only on the top floor are dashed?

I searched and I could not find a criterion that would return a value about the current Story.
So, maybe the only solution is to apply the Graphic Override only on the Roof Story.
This would mean that if you save Views of your Floor Plans, the saved View of the Roof Story must be different from the saved View of all other Stories.

Not that I know of that would help in this specific situation.
