To edit an element’s cut profile:
1 Click Tools menu
➤
Edit Cut Profile, or click on the Tools toolbar.
2 On the Options Bar, for Edit, select Face (to edit the entire boundary around the face) or Boundary
Between Faces (to edit the boundary line between faces).
3 Move the cursor over an element in the view (for example, a compound wall).
Depending on the selected Edit option, a valid cut face or a boundary line is highlighted.
4 Click the highlighted cut face or boundary to select it and enter Sketch mode.
5 Sketch an area to be added to or subtracted from the selection. Use a sequence of lines that starts
and ends at the same boundary line.
You cannot sketch a closed loop or cross the starting boundary line. However, if you are using
the Boundary Between Faces option, you can sketch over other boundaries of the face.
A control arrow displays on the first line that you sketch. It points toward the portion that will
remain after editing. Click the control arrow to change its direction.
NOTE When you are editing a boundary line between faces, you only need to sketch the 2 boundary
lines for the area. A connecting line appears between the 2 lines that you sketch. You do not need
to sketch this line.
6 When finished editing, click Finish Sketch on the Design Bar.
7 To change the graphic display (such as line weight or color) of elements in the view, right-click
the element, and click Override Graphics in View
➤
By Element. See Overriding Visibility and
