Plot Line Elevation Issue

[JKEdmo]

I've been getting a graphical "glitch" with my sent-to-layout elevations and was wondering if other people have seen this too and if it is correctable.

 

I set my "Glass Standard" material line and pattern to a fine grey diagonal hatch so that my windows come in grey on the elevations:

 

 

 

 

The result looks great in the Plan Elevation View.  So far so good:

 

 

However, here's how it looks in the Layout View with plot lines turned on:

 

 

 

As you can see, there's a weird line bleed where the diagonal hatch hits the door or window swing lines.  Seems to happen everywhere, but only at swing lines (fixed windows okay).

 

Any insight?

 

Thanks once again,

 

Jim

Never never use patterns to fake a fill - you'll cause all sorts of graphical and/or performance issues pushing Chief to draw too many lines.

 

Just set the color of glass via the technique options:

Thanks TeaTime.  I'll work on this.

 

I think I have my plot line elevations set up with color turned off, which removes the shaded opaque glass effect.

 

But, I was reading an older thread (screenshot below) and it sounds like the trick is to keep color on, adjust opaque glass like you said, and adjust all my materials to be black white and grey.
