High Window Plan Display

[JKEdmo]

This technique gets the plan display I like for high transom or clerestory windows - dashed window outline for windows above with solid wall at normal plan section level.  Probably old news to some of you, but I thought I'd share.

 

• Place your windows
• Put these high windows on a new dedicated layer (e.g. Windows, Dashed) with dashed linetype.
• Here's the trick -- make the host wall have a pony wall with the pony wall top height below the sill height of the high windows.  Turn on "Lower Wall" for "Display in Plan View."  This will get you solid (non-broken) wall display for the wall with the windows showing dashed above.
