I'm trying to figure out the best way to approach my detailing.
I've got a 3d model that works well for figuring out most things, but in terms of the finer details i would like to be able to draw these in (without modeling the whole thing in 3d).
I understand the procedure of callouts, and detailing in 2d over the base drawing -- however, it makes sense in many instances to set the "Display Model" function to "none", so that i don't have the oddities and imperfections of the 3d model showing through.
However, i do this, and i lose my walltags, roof tags, slope triangles -- everything else that was associated with the model that is now hidden.
What is the best work-around? Do i put in "fake" tags?
Thanks for your input...

"....however, it makes sense in many instances to set the "Display Model" function to "none",..." I absolutly disagree.
90% of our details are model based. If you model correctly you can use almost all of the model elements and add a few detail components. Do I model everything? I model everything that will show in more than one view. Items like furniture though are 2-1/2D families. 2D linework for plan and elevations and only 3D components when they need to be seen in 3D.
Our walls, ceilings, floors and roofs are almost always full model in every view. Learn how to use edit cut profile and the linework tool. With edit cut profile, you can edit gyp bd returns at windows and doors. You can cut the brick layer back out of view and use a repeating detail for the brick.
Obviously at detail level, you turn off doors and windows and replace with detail elements.
When I catch someone adding filled regions to represent tile, I really get upset. That is so stupid. Model finishes for floors and walls will always hide behind properly built model components over them. We use thin walls in all of our bath areas for the tile surface. Placed up against the main wall and joined with it means all fixtures, doors, windows will cut the pattern.
