I am modifying a Reflected Ceiling Plan View Template and am running into some road blocks. My View Template overrides the linework of the walls to be a thin line weight, and overrides my ceiling (projection lines) to be a thicker line weight. The goal is to show the perimeter of each ceiling clearly. I feel this best serves the purpose of the view (and aids bidders).
I am having issues with this goal because the walls are in front of the ceiling, therefore the walls cover up half of my projection line. This would be fine except that now where two different ceiling types meet, the resulting projection lines are double the "visible" thickness as the ceiling perimeter adjacent to a wall.
I can address this by switching the graphic display to "Wireframe", but that creates many other visibility challenges. For example, showing structural framing at exposed ceiling situations, but not where they should be hidden by a ceiling.
Would love to hear what others have had success with.
