How to fade background elements in section cut.

Anonymous
Not applicable
Using ArchiCad 16 with Windows XP.

I am having trouble in both elevations and section cuts, whereas the background information is reading at the same lineweight as foreground elements.

For example, I have a building with a 10'-0 x 12'-0 opening on one facade, and you can see the back wall of the building through it. In the elevation, the back wall of the interior of the building is reading at the same lineweight as the foreground elements. I can change these lineweights accordingly to read as I'd like, but when I do, those same elements are now reading too light when I look at the opposite elevation.

How can I manipulate lineweights of elements depending on the view? This has also been an issue with section cuts.

Read in the manual about "Distant Area" option for sections and Elevations.
