Interior elevations outline

[kginty81]

How do I make the interior elevations oulined and bold. I am in 09. I searched, but only founds threads from 06. Is there a better way now? I know I can print the crop view, but can I make the crop view print darker/ bolder. Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks

Hi Kevin,
We use Masking Regions, works pretty Good. We can also shape around Ceilings and Caseworks.....
Use the fat lines as your shape then a simple rectangular "Invisible line as the Outer Line...outside the Crop Region

Really, that is kind of lame.

You can make the Crop region as fat as you want in 2 clicks of the mouse using Override Graphics in View. But I don't really understand what are trying to achieve.

Hey there,
Maybe we don't understand the question. If you are referring to profiled geometry edges, then you may want to use the Advanced Model Graphics feature to override all of your silhouette (profile) lines.

Hope this is what you were referring to.

If I understand the questions, I think Niki hit the nail on the head. Just remember to uncheck "hide crop boundaries" in your print set-up dialogue. See attached.

My question is, when I make an elevation, it auto generates an elevation based on walls floor and ceiling. However, it does not look like Arch standard graphics- bold lines around the outside (or section cuts) of the elevation.

Why does it require some extra work to make edge lines look thick?

How would you do it in AutoCAD?

Thats good, but only for rectangle elevations, no soffit's or anything

Draw thicker linework. I was looking for smart bold elevations, that change when the design changes.
