Multi-view part haloedline

How do I make it so that when I am in the plan view the multiview parts that are under ductwork will show all lines as haloed? I can get a haloed line to show on the part, but there is still a solid line shown with the haloed line.

Hi JWJ -

There are two possibilities that I can think of that you would be seeing
both a haloed and a solid line in an MvPart
1. You have more than one display representation on enabled in your
current view configuration. You could have both 2-line and model enabled, so
the object would be drawing itself in 2-line display as well as model
display.
2. You are seeing a connector graphic. Connector graphics, while
displayed on the screen will not print. If you want to turn them off you can
do that by turning off the connector display in the MvPart style.

Haloed lines are the lines that appear hidden when two building systems
objects cross at different elevations.

They make ductwork look like this...

without the hide command.

Thanks for your reply Jason, but I found the reason. I turned off the connector on the multi-view part column in the display manager and the non-haloed lines disappeared.

When one duct crosses over top of another duct and the lines of the bottom
duct get changed to a lighter color and turn to a hidden line, that hidden
line is referred to as a haloed line.
