Is there a way to set up styles or something like that so that I can build a cleaner isometric drawing, so that the pipe beyond does not show (ex. Pipe crossing, the ends of pipes and fittings). See PDF

Some see the glass as half full, others as half empty. As an engineer I see the glass as twice as big as it needs to be. ~Unknown~
I tried that and everything still meshes together. Optical Illusion looking. Visual styles did nothing for me. I even messed around with visual styles manager and created different styles with edge settings and all that. No good...

So that kind of works, best idea yet. but there are many problems with that working good enough to use. First, we use the AutoCAD MEP workflow (Constructs, Views, then Sheets). When you detail out the drawing in model space, and use the hide comand with all of the display settings you provided, all of the text and dimensions want to hide when they cross any of the systems in the crossings. Also this functions refreshes back to normal visibility when you move or change the view. Plus it seems very picky as to whether it wants to work. Sometimes views work and sometime they don't.
