To achieve this effect, open the north elevation view, and click View menu
➤
Wireframe. Then use the
Linework tool to apply the desired line style to the south entrance. (See
Using the Linework Tool
on page
328.) When you switch the view back to Hidden Line mode (click View menu
➤
Hidden Line), the entrance
is visible on the north elevation.
Using Linework for Coincident Edges
You can use linework to achieve the desired effect when several edges of model components project onto
the same line (for example, a door opening that coincides with some edges of a door frame in an elevation
view). In this case, the Linework tool may not immediately produce the desired results, because each of the
coincident edges is treated as a separate line.
To apply a dashed line style to one of 3 coincident edges, for example, apply the <Invisible lines> style to 2
of the edges. (See
Using the Linework Tool
on page 328.) Then apply a dashed style (such as <Demolished>)
to the third edge.
Changing the Cut Profile of Elements
Use the Edit Cut Profile tool to change the shape of elements that are cut in a view, such as roofs, floors,
walls, and the layers of compound structures. The tool is available in plan, RCP, and section views. Changes
made to the profile are view-specific; that is, the element's 3D geometry or its appearance in other views
does not change.
