Problem:
1) In-place families often do not show their hidden lines
2) The show and remove hidden line tools are disabled when one of the following is true:
a) View discipline = structural
b) Graphics style = hidden line
(Seems a little silly, doesn't it.....)
Well now you can get your hidden lines
1. Your hidden lines don't show! (Picture 1)
2. When view discipline = 'Structural', the tools are disabled (Picture 2)
3. Switch the view discipline => 'Architectural', and the tools are enabled (Picture 3)
4. Apply the hidden lines by first clicking the object you want to see through, then the object you want to see (Picture 4)
5. Switch the view discipline back to 'Structural' (Picture 5). Note that this setting is necessary to once again show the beam hidden by the column.
Happy reviting!
