presentation elevation for future projects

[Anonymous]

I have a project our company is doing for a non-profit organization, due to funding restraints they cannot do the whole project in one phase, i would like to show all phases of the project in elevation. what i attempted was too show phase two as dashed lines in elevation w/o breaking the link to the model, the best i could do was use a lighter pen, to show it as a ghost image, this looks ok on the computer but is not dramatic enough in print. I resist the temptation to break the link if i can. Any help
would be great.

Karl, i tried just what you suggested prior to posting, it does work but again it's another step. it seams to me if in the say wall setting you change the line setting to dashed in your floor plan/section, they should show up in elevation as dashed. maybe a wish list item.

Yes, you can just change the line style of those elements. I assumed that you wanted them to appear as solid lines in your other drawings. The screening process (extra step as you say) is a way of keeping the model live, and yet having different appearances for certain drawings.

Yup, long-time wish to get different line styles for different views.
