How to show 3D model as dashed if hidden behind someting

Anonymous — Sat, 16 Jan 2016 00:54:07 GMT

I was wondering if anyone knows how to show a 3D model as dashed lines if it's hidden behind something in an orthographic view. Does it have anything to do with using symbollic lines?

I don't think you can. You however, can turn up the transparency of the front object to 20-30% to reveal the objects behind it.

if, from Properties >Graphics > Show Hidden Lines - turn to All - you will be able to see the elements behind the front objjects in hidden lines
or you can do it mabually by using Linework

1.first method

and second method:

It actually gets even better and easier than this for individual objects... (in lieu of linework tool)
