2D line work within complex profiles

Anonymous
Not applicable
It would be great to be able to draw a section in the complex profile window comprising of both lines and fills, rather than just fills. I've attached an example.
You'd then be able to cut a section through the element created and see the line work including line weights and different line types.

You could achieve this in AC18.
Building Materials no longer merge, so you can split the fills for the beams to create the x, and also every edge of a fill is customisable (which is also available in previous versions) but now you can turn edges off.

I don't see the need for any lines in that image. Just fills with customisable edges.

But I see you are using AC16, so there's a few more workarounds to get the x of the beams to show - by using two different fills so they don't merge.
