Broken Lines on Drawing

[Anonymous]

I am trying to generate a set of floor plans for a house.

First I created a separate  sketch for each room using only construction lines.

Then I created a new component called walls.

In the walls component I create a sketch called Renovation so I can generate a  model only containing specific rooms.

Now on the Renovation sketch I draw a rectangle over the top of the construction lines for one of the rooms.

So I now have  rectangles showing each wall for that room (four walls).

Using the surface tools I turn each rectangle into a patch generating a new body and then extrude each wall up by the required height.

I now have what looks like a bunch of solids representing the rooms.

So now go to Design and generate a drawing with a top down view

Make sure all of the construction sketches are not visible.  Make sure the bodies are visible.

Now on the drawing I have four solid walls BUT one and only one of the walls is shown with broken lines (the rest are solid).

As an experiment I create a rectangle which is not on top of any construction line and go through same process and it has broken lines as well

Any help appreciated.  thanks in advance

Thanks for prompt reply

Here is the file 

I had a few more tries on this version with same result and I notice that even though I extruded the various surfaces it has not closed the top surface?

I left "as is"

OK I eventually worked it out.

Not knowing when to give up sometimes pays off.

The main issue was I had created a surface body not a solid body.  When I converted the surface bodies (which showed as broken lines on the drawing) into solid bodies the lines on the drawing were unbroken. Job Done.
