HumbleChief Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 ... I can't believe we went so long without it. I just created a detail and I was able to 'shade' a couple of fills that really made the detail a lot easier to read. I can see using it in elevations, plan views and all over the place. I'll use this tool a LOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HumbleChief Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Hey Todd, Here's a pretty simple detail but I was able to 'transparent a couple fills like the cross hatch and strap fill to show some detail behind and to lessen the impact of the cross hatch fill. Super simple detail but can see lots of possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay_on_Cape Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Isn't this the same as the checkbox to make it "transparent pattern fill" that we've had for quite awhile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gawdzira Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I don't think Larry was clear enough in his response to Jay, NOOOOO! I will post something soon to illustrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumbleChief Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 Here's an example. Really opens up some possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawdzira Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Work in progress on elevations for a project where the plan has skewed wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumbleChief Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 Sweet Alan. This could be the best of X7 - for me and the way I work. Curious, did you just place, by hand, a transparent PLine over the elevation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawdzira Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Yes. It was a little tedious but a lot easier than cutting out peel and stick tone sheets on mylar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gawdzira Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 @Rashid, you just saved me a ton of time. Check out the next two images. I only traced the critical area. The bulk of the elevation just gets a large cover. See the temp blue line for a point of reference. In the plan file Then in layout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
