2D lines under 3D elements display

Hello,

Is it possible to hide (not to show) lines if a 3D element (wall for ex.) is drawn on top of the line?

In the attached picture, the red lines are elements under the walls, that I want to be hidden (the part that is under the 3D element). In the same time, the purple lines that are the axis I want to keep showing.

If you use a "Model" Display Representation for the AEC objects (3D) in the Display Representation Set assigned to the Top view direction in the active Display Configuration and set the Visual Style to Hidden, the AEC objects should mask any 2D linework below them.  It works for Walls, at the least.

 

NOTE:  The above suggestion will affect your plotted output, perhaps in undesirable, deal-breaking ways.  If you decide to try this, do it in a test copy of your file(s) and verify that there are no unwanted side-effects in any of the ways that you need to use that(those) file(s).
