Elevation Camera View Lines

[RobUSMC]

While in plan view, and your elevation cameras are visible, is there a way to keep the camera icon and the label but not have the line on each side of the camera which I assume is the camera clipped width. I didnt know if they were on a different layer.  When you get several cameras you are using in the plan all these lines get in the way and clutter thing up.

Thanks.  What the difference between setting it as a callout and not a callout

[Gawdzira]

The difference as a callout is jus the graphic display, as far as I know. Also, this can set you up for a section cut display on all floors.

Open the camera dbx and have a look at Scene Clipping.

Make sure Clip Sides is unchecked and enter a Clip Width.

The clip width is the width of the cross section line.

In your case when you want the cross section linee to disappear, enter zero - although Chief will change it to the minimum which is 50mm in metric.

This does not affect the scene clipping (only the width of the cross section line) as long as Clip Sides is unchecked.

Or...easier still, you can select the camera and drag the grips on the ends of the cross section line in towards the camera.
