Walls and furniture elements - common edges issue

[Anonymous]

Hello!

I have a problem when printing a plan with furniture. Linework of furniture has a different color(has to have it) and is overlapping wall's linework - only when printed to pdf. On the screen everything displays properly. For us it isn't acceptable.

Also, the furniture line will appear under the wall line (the way i want it) when I maintain the order of creation of elements as follows: first furniture element and then a wall. This sounds like a sollution but I can't imagine exchanging all walls after adding a new piece of furniture to a model. Linework tool is also not suitable in this case, because it would be too time consuming changing lines of hundreds of furniture pieces each time a change is made...

Is there a way to control this behavior not having to rely on the time-of-creation hierarchy? Like to override visibility of all wall and furniture common edges?

Attached see screenshots of described behavior.

hey

When you go to print, go into the "Set up" options and tick the option" Region edges mask coincident lines" (see image) This should sort you.

Hope this helps 🙂

Thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for.

What comes out as a pdf is still not perfect (see attached screenshots) - perpendicular furniture edges appear over wall edges but I guess this qualifies as an improvement request for autodesk?

This is definitely not a solution for this issue!

Is there any update for this issue?

I have the same problem, only that I'm drawing details and the elements in my floor , even though they are structural elements, their black thick lines are covered by the floor edge.

There has to be a fix for this. I've tried the solution above and it doesen't work in this case

And it doesen't even make sense. In one detail the BS-2-01 beam from the floor is covered by the floor edge, and in another one is not. What is going on and how to fix this issue?

I find on the print settings, in addition to selecting "Region edges mask coincident lines" also select replace "halftones with thin lines" and this should resolve the issue of furniture lines overlapping the wall lines.

any update on this major topic ?

i have the same problem. and its irregular. One would think that it has to do with the height or cutting plane. But the same thing happens with parking lots.
