Hello,
This is my first post, but the Autodesk Forum has become a go-to resource for questions, so I've decided to contribute.
There have been some hurdles to overcome with the new toposolids, and my current issue is related to ground lines in the background of elevation views. When I'm using the hidden line visual style, only the cut line and the lines where the toposolid meets the building are showing up (see first image below). The surface in the background does not show and the building appears to be floating. This is the format I use for my printed drawings and I need the ground line to show up.
I've gone through troubleshooting and checked the view depth, and VG settings but cannot get the ground line to show up unless I turn on "folded lines" under the VG settings (see second image below). This solves the problem of the ground line, but then I'm stuck with all the other "folded lines" which isn't great for my permit set and construction drawings.
Does anyone know how to get the ground line to show up without turning on "folded lines"? Am I missing something?
Thanks!

Where exactly is the "ground line" on plan? You already have the cutline of the topo. If you want it at the face of the building then move the elevation to the face of the building.
If you want the line behind the building then turn on Far Clip with Cut Line and play with Far Clip Offset distance.
Have you tried Clip with Line Far Clipping?
...as well as adjusting Far Clip Distance?
@barthbradley file attached. I tried adjusting the clipping but it didn't fully solve the issue. Also note this is an elevation, not a section view (not sure if that matters).
@ToanDN I'd prefer the cut line to show the topography around the building so I prefer to offset the cut line. But this recommendation seems to be helpful.
As a side question, is there a forum thread you'd recommend for info or advice on hand sketching a topography layout? Or general toposolid tips and tricks? I don't have a topographic survey for this project so I'm free-handing it based on a few dimensions around the property.
..not sure if this matters but I use Revit LT
You can overlay two views on sheet.
Not sure what representation you are after. Have you tried overriding graphics in view as well as linework (LW) tool.
@barthbradley and @ToanDN Thank you both for your input. I'm somewhat new to Revit and was worried it would take a few days to hear back on my post (if at all), but you provided great input and advice on potential solutions. @barthbradley I haven't used the LW tool yet, but this in combination with drafting lines will be a good option for my final documents. I come from the world of AutoCAD and made the switch to Revit while running my own business so it's helpful to have this forum as a resource. Thanks again!
