BruceKC Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 1. If i send an elevation view (in vector view with shadows on) to layout, is there a way I can reduce the "graying out" of the foundation or adjust the intensity of the gray fill? 2. Is there a way to set the defaults for edge lines and pattern lines in Chief so that the elevation view edge lines and pattern lines always come in the same? I can't find a setting for that anywhere in Chief. Thanks everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For pattern lines, it's by pattern, so you can adjust them by editing the materials. Use the rainbow tool and click on the material in an elevation view. I use a line weight of 0 so they are as thin as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you send to layout you can select Plot Lines, and select Use Edge Line Defaults and Use Pattern Line Defaults This overrides the object's line weight settings Then within the layout you can open the layout box and change the line thickness or color That's what I do and I like having a quick simple EASY way to make sure all the edge and pattern lines are consistent I usually make the pattern lines gray once in layout, I think it's a nice look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
