One of the things I seem to struggle with is being able to depict a single pipe when it needs to be shown in one profile as a crossing pipe, and another profile where you you show a lenghwise slice through the pipe. I end up tracing the pipe with eliptical objects where I'm cutting across the pipe and setting up more for the lengthwise/sideview of the pipe. Is there a way to have two different styles for the same pipe, one for a cross cut and one for a lengthwise slice?
I've had this problem many times as well. The best solution I've found (pre 2014) is to set up another pipe style that only shows the crossing pipe and utilize the pipe style override in the profile view.
In the new pipe style, only display the crossing pipe outlines that you want -
Then in the profile view properties, set the style override to that new pipe style -
I have not looked into if 2014 can do this a better way. Hope this helps though.
