I probably should know this by now, but I still struggle with getting values into lines in elevations, especially with fill patterns. (See attached) How can I get these lines to gray down?

Change the Fill Projection line color/weight in Visibility Graphics in the Wall Catergory to affect the entire view. You can also set this up to affect walls globally in Object Styles.

OK. That helps with the walls. What about filled regions/patterns?

You can select any element you want in elevation > right click > Override graphics in view > By element > change the pattern color for cut or projection to be the color you want.

Thanks. I can get the color changed easily enough, but it still prints black, unless I change the whole filled region to halftone. If I do that, it also makes the outside lines halftone, which I'd like to have display as black, and fat for the ground line.

You should be getting a WYSIWYG in your prints. If not then it's your printer settings.

I think that's the ticket. Thanks.
