I am starting a renovation project and would like to show a presentation drawing where the existing conditions in normal, hardline, straight line mode, but use "sketch" rendering for the lines showing new work. Any thotz on how to do this?

Very nice. How long did it take to composite the different images?

Thanks for compliments Mixing the images didn´t take too long - just an hour or two of playing in Photoshop ...

I needed to show the elevations in a 3D fly-around video and came up with this.
The dimensions are backwards as the complete video uses the far elevation only when the camera is on that side.
I rendered 4 separate files, turning off the elevation side that was closest to the camera and repeating the first & last frames in successive files so that the final video looks as though the elevations fade out as the camera gets to that side (using transition fades in the video editing program).

If this looks useful, I can describe the technique to get an exact match of the elevation scale & position to the model.
