Yes back-lining is the reason hand drawn plans have so much more style. I would love to see it implemented in archicad but judging from the poll, no one seems to care

... I know that the principal difficulty is that it is necessary to introduce a direction with the lines so that the program knows where to "slip" the thickness but I cannot imagine to set that line by line...

May I add my line improvement wish. That dashes share a common origin so superimposed dashed lines of the same type look like a single dashed line instead of a longer dash or solid line.
I'd like to use roof objects, displayed one story down, to show the line of roof above with a dashed line. But ridges and valleys appear as solid lines. Thus this little inconsistency forces additional drafting and coordination.
