Does anyone know of how to get line patterns to carry thru multiple objects such as continuous footings, if its even possible?
Here is the scenario, I have a concrete stem wall, that at some areas is 8" above the finish floor to provide a curb and at other areas it stops at finish floor then is also drops below the slab at doorways so that the finish slab turns down on top of the stem wall. I have chosen to model these as 3 separate walls even though they are in line with each other and are continuous, the reason being is on another project I ran into many headaches when a walls profile was modified for a similar condition that I decided it would be easier to model the stemwalls individually based on their top of wall heights and then use the join tool to remove any "seams" when viewed in a 3d/iso view. The problem, all be it very minor, is the footing that each stem wall hosts starts and stops its line style patterns with each new instance. I've tried joining them together but this doesn't fix the line style pattern from starting a new with each new instance. I can erase all but 1 footing and stretch it the length of the wall, but that doesn't seem ideal since only 1 stem wall be the host wall for the footing and could create more work down the road should changes be made to the overall footprint of the building.
Please take a look at the attached image for better clarification..
Thanks,
