Skylight ceiling outline

Any way to turn on a dashed line for the skylight above? I thought it was an automatic function at one time....
Roof layer will be turned off on the floor plan.

Thanks.

I'm having the same problem - has anyone offered a solution yet? You can change the settings for skylights in Model View Options, to show opening only. That is good for lower level floor plan if you leave the roof layer on and showing outline on level below, but you lose the skylight detail on the roof plan.

That is it. Did not realize I had to show the roof as well. Will try it out.

Thanks.

One problem......roof plan wants to show the cover fill, but the electrical plan wants to show the outline of the roof, but not the cover fill. Any way to show it two different ways for two different plan views.......I don't think so.
