As an example, let's say I have all my walls turned to halftone in my V/G settings. and I want to go over it with some model lines that are thick, solid and black. The goal is to have halftone lines with a solid thick border of the building footprint. Somehow my black border line is showing up behind my halftone walls. I realize that I can "bring forward" the lines, however, since the walls are 3D and the black border is 2D, it doesn't work. Is that the reason why I can't bring that thick black line forward so it prints black instead of gray in that area? Any suggestions or workarounds for this?

If you are using model lines, then they are being drawn on the current work plane (if you are in a plan, it defaults to that level). Use detail lines instead and they will automatically "in front".
