There should be a user selectable toggle in the view properties, or at the very least take the behavior out and let their display be controlled by VG or category overides like everything else. I just don't understand the logic of, "Hey, let's create a view setting that takes away options from the user!"</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I've always known this behavior to be consistant for any view set to one of the MEP disciplines, be it section, plan or whatever. I like to give mechanical equipment a light gray solid fill as a surface pattern. It pretty well gives the illusion that they aren't transparent when viewed against the halftoned architectural elements in such a view.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><IMG border="0" src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/159616i86E478D0B79BABDF/image-size/original?v=mpbl-1&amp;px=-1" alt="mechequipview.jpg" title="mechequipview.jpg" /></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Or I just switch to Coordination view mode, as long as I don't have too much stuff overlapping such that I really need the hidden lines to show.</P> Fri, 20 Mar 2015 19:10:09 GMT chrisplyler 2015-03-20T19:10:09Z
