Toposurface Boundary Line Visibility

I have created a toposurface and created a split region from the large amount of imported topography from my surveyor so that my graded region is only within the project property.  Everything works great but when I go to print the drawing, the toposurface boundary of the split region is shown with a very thick line that blocks out my property lines.  How can I turn off the toposurface boundary lines.  I have turned off the boundary points, and I have adjusted the object style of topography so that the projection lines are the smallest lineweight possible, but there is no invisible, or non-printing line styles available.  WHat else can I do?

Have you tried Linework tool?

Just tried it thanks, but it does not select the boundary line of the
toposurface. It let me make the property line invisible that sits on top
of the toposurface, but not the toposurface.
I had not use the linework too before, always using the override graphics
in view for view specific fudging. Any other ideas?

I am not sure but is it this you are searching for?

Look at the file attached in your the other thread and see how the topo boundary is omitted to show the property lines.

Well, if you're using the linework tool to make lines invisible, and your property boundary lines are on TOP of your topo boundary lines, which ones do you think are going to get made invisible? Maybe move your top 10' diagonally, make its boundaries invisible, and then move it back into place.

I normally go to object styles, down to topography, main line, and override it to white. That way, you property boundary does not have topography line showing a long it.

@tdaltd: did you see happen to read my post to you today on your "Cut/Fill" thread?

Wow!

Sneaky and very nice!

That is fantastic.  Now lets hope that I remember that I did this 8 months from now when I cannot find the boundary lines of my topo surface!  LOL

Thanks

yep, the remembering is important. And you will notice the topo surface line won't be visible in sections. But i often put a filled region over it  anyway, and hide the topo.

You can change it to white ONLY in plan views where desired by doing it in the VG of specific views, instead of globally in Object Styles.

Yep, thats the better way to do it, leaving it there for when you need it in other views.

Does anyone know how to make this work for phases? It works for topo on new construction but the one set to existing doesn't seem to adopt the white line.

That's because the Phase settings, at least by default, are essentially overriding everything to be halftone.

Change the view's phase status to show complete.

There is no "show complete" listed in phase filter. Am I looking in the wrong place? Basically, I need to show one toposurface (existing) as dashed lines and new topo with solid lines. Obviously, these topo surfaces are separate, right? So I don't need a boundary line between them. The white override works for the new topo but doesn't apply to the one set to "existing" . Any tips /  ideas welcome. Thanks.

Just add the filter yourself (see attached).

I'm concerned this just puts me back in the same place....

Would this enable me to:

1. Show ext topo as dashed

2. Show new topo as solid

3. Set the boundary of topo surfaces as white 

Thanks,

No. Show complete show existing and new the same, as complete. How about you Show previous + new and override the existing topo element in view to have a white boundary?

Can you walk me through it. This is what I see in the override dialog. As far as I can tell, the override graphics in view can only tweak both the boundary and the contours at the same time (not just the contours). Thanks for your help
