Printing, line thickness


Hello, I am wondering how to make line of an arch. element (example beam) viewable different in view and in section. For example, when I draw beam in plan I choose thin dashed line (lets say 0.1 mm, line 2), and when i make section trough that beam, I also see thin dashed line although I want it to bee thick and full (lets say 0.3 mm, line 1). Is there any way to do this? Thank you. Luka

Hello Lukas,

I'm not sure about your request but there many possibility.

By creating a beam, you can set a format definition for the contour and also like a material display.

Than when you do a section with Associative view, 2D view or the new section, you allways has many option like:

- Display same surface than element
- Thick line
- Hidden surface display

So it depend what you want to have:
