Basics - Compound Wall - See The Layer Boundary Line In Profile?

Hi all,

I've got a compound walls like this:

The are modelled like this:

I've got the view range cut above the top of the shorter wall.

So for the wall on the left, I should be looking at the top of the wall in profile.

 

What I'm wondering is if there is a way to show the layer boundaries of my compound wall in profile.  This was manually done with detail lines, but is sort of what I'm looking for.

Under Visibility/Graphics, Common Edges doesn't seem to be an option for Profile.

So am I asking for the impossible?

 

Thank you

They will show in one of the following three cases

  • The wall is cut
  • The wall is converted to parts (and view set to show Parts or Both)
  • Create a model group and attach a detail component to it

Use whichever it suitable or manually draw the lines

Thank you @RDAOU 
That is what I suspected.  Just wanted to confirm I wasn't missing a setting or toggle.
