Crop Region Line Styles

[JADAstudio]

Allow users to set line styles for each segment of a crop region.

Currently, if one wants to use the crop region boundary as a heavy cut line in an interior elevation view one must override the crop region line weight by element. If the interior elevation involves break lines (room extends beyond the bounds of the view) the crop region must be hidden and a masking region "donut" must be used.

Allowing users to set line styles for individual segments of crop regions would simplify documentation and eliminate a repetative, low-value activity that happens in every project.

Just right click on the border, and select Override Graphic in View/By Element and change the line pattern

Yes, I am doing this at the moment and seems like a waist of time. We really need ways to be faster at what we do. (Time is money). If we already need to create a crop view and adujst the crop view, redoing this with the mask region is double dipping. Having both options would be great! The mask region is effective for some drafting items, but lineweigths on crop views will also be effective in othe drafting settings.

2024... and we still adding dash lines by hand on the crops....

I would very much like to have "object styles and "category" control of the crop region...especially for interior elevations. I am considering just creating sectional elevations instead of interior elevations...honestly may look better and provide some additional context (like cutting through a window or opening).

It's been 9years since this forum has started, yet Autodesk never cares about this one step that could really be helpful. There are updates are not even that much convenient.

This would be a great feature to have.  With so many black straight lines it'd be great to be able to customize the color along with the line thickness and line style of the crop region border lines to easily visibly differentiate it from the rest of the model elements.

It would be nice to be able to add sub-categories for crop boundaries in object styles as well and then set a default for different view types under the graphic settings.

This way you could set an interior elevation to have a heavy line as the default but then have plans use a thin line.
