stevenyhof Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Is there a way to change the line style on a door to a dashed line so I can show it as a future door? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LevisL Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Easy peasy! Make a new layer. Call it ‘Doors, Future’ and give it a dashed line type. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgardner Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 If you just want it as a CAD item and not to show up in 3d add it as a regular door then use CAD Detail from view, erase everything in that view around the door to make it easier to work with. Select the components of the door change line style to dashed and whatever color you want. Then Copy it, go back to your plan and Paste in place (ctrl+Alt+V or CMD+Alt_V for mac.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll remember this for 3D. I needed it only for 2D now - Thank you Ryan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey_martin Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I keep a dashed door, made from CAD lines, in my library to use for cases like this. For a "future" door...just use a doorway and drop this from the library into the opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I typically add the opening in support walls so that the headers are installed. I assume you save it as a block. Thank you Joey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
