I see a lot of discussion about concrete beam to slab edges not showing as hidden.
My work around was to use the linework tool and I got good results....but...when I duplicate with detailing the GA view for the reo layout, all that work is infact lost on the new view
I don't think anyone has noted that and for me this fuels the need for a quick fix

In the meantime I will, try the catagories set to hidden, or try the beam family suggestion with a depth below slab (but feel this will affect quantity take off in the future (?), I might consider 'joining geometry' to see how that behaves, or even might resort to 'detail lines with pick and lock then play with visabilies....

Either way this is something that really really does need to be sorted 'out of the box.

John,
Yes, initially the linework tool seems great except it often does not stick. For many reasons the linework is lost and needs redoing....over and over again, wasting oodles of time.
