Show hidden edges from a certain distance in drawing view

Show hidden edges from a certain distance in drawing view

HI.

My customer needs to show show some hidden edges in a drawing view of a large steel assembly. We need an option to just show hidden edges from a certain depth to avoid drawing clutter. Today its all or nothing. We have tried to create a workflow for this using Design Views in model and/or depth settings in Section view without any success.

 

Best Regards

You could try manually toggling hidden lines component by component for now.

Thanks for the suggestion. Toggling hidden lines by component is very difficult for large steel structure assemblies, and if You change sizes You have to repeat the process all over again. In this case a lot of the components are made of bulb profiles, therefore a toggle for entire component gives to many hidden lines. We really need to be able to control the distance by a parameter or a plane. Controlling it by component is just not good enough.
