I have a large building with several varying length wings. When I print an overall elevation, the line weight is identical and it is really hard to detect where the closer wing stops and the one far behind it continues on in the background. Adjusting the far off clip doesn't help me since there are other elements cut off that need to be seen in the overall building elevations. Does anyone have suggestions on adjusting line weight or screening to achieve the "look" that is needed? I would like to have several separate overall plans that show furniture layout, floor patterns, cabinet plans and tags, etc. How do you make a copy of the main plan that allows you to add stuff that only shows up there. I can do it with a "callout" of the entire plan, but I have several of these that I want to do which would mean several identical "callouts." Any suggestions?

Not much you can do with the elevation. You could try and linework all the stuff but that would suck. As far as the floor plans just right click on the plan and hit Duplicate or Duplicate with detialing. The detailing is the Annotation stuff. In the new plan just adjust the view visability setting to show the stuff you need to show..

There was an interesting post on this at the AUGI site. That person solved this by placing several non-colored "glass" planes with reduced transparency at various intervals along the depth of the model. When viewed perpendicular to the planes, the elements were reduced in value according to the number of glass "filters". I've not tried it but it looks like a possibility.

I could see how that might work in a rendering but not in elevations. If you notice the windows in elevation don't show the interior.

It does work!! This is what was posted: "....oh my god....Trick of the year coming up...... On the basis that a 3d view oriented to an elevation see's through glass.....why not use luigi's technique, but add another little element. why not place a series of glass screens perpendicular to the elevation, say at 5 metre intervals. The further objects are away from the view point, the fainter they will appear as the more sheets of glass will be obstructing them! Brilliant or what! Cool thing is, you can make a separate material for these and contol their transparency, even a subcategory so that they don't effect side views in the same way etc. You could even do the same principle for sections. I reckon its a winner! See what you think? Linework in elevations now a thing of the past....???? Regards, Max." ............ wish I could take credit for the idea.

It does work!!! But it's not an elevation. You can't display Levels.. Still a wish list item.
