My project is an auditorium. The seating sinks about 2'6" from +/- 0'-0". Therefore, on the exterior elevation show the wall below grade. On bldg sections, they are fine to be shown but not on elevation.

Is there a way to hide the wall below grade?

Also, if you see the exterior elevation, the title is so wide, how do I make it smaller?

Thanks.

The first thing you could/should do is put in the terrain around the building. That will automatically hide the below grade objects.

Alternatly, you could just use a white solid filled region over the part you want to hide. This is good in the DD or SD phase when you don't yet have good topo information.

Just grab the blue grip at the end of the title line and drag it over. Too simple. <might need to zoom in to see it...>

I use a solid fillled region a few feet deep. Since I'm in Florida, I have no topo.

^^^ What they said.

If you use bombers method... don't forget a topo line.

The filled region can have a wide line at the top for this.
