Rosco2017 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Attached is a clip of an image taken from Chief's samples gallery. (Credit of this photo goes to Joey Martin.) I can't figure out how to make the outline of my pic darker and the materials lighter like shown in this photo. I asked how to do this a while, but my builder liked the color drawings better. I think that was on the old forum that I can't access for some reason now. Can someone steer me in the right direction please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosco2017 Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 Okay, I did some more digging and found this video by David Michael, but when I do what he say and Shift select the plan, I don't get the same option to change the light weights. I assume since this was made several versions ago, that things have changed. How do I locate the dialogue box to make these changes?

Rashid_Garuba Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Set the weights with Layersets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosco2017 Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 Dang it! I knew I would remember this crap if I just sat down and actually took a whack at it. When you send your elevation to layout, you can change the line weights in that box. After your elevation on the layout, you just click the image, open it up, and there is where you change the color... Good lord I just wasted everyone's time. I apologize for that.

Rosco2017 Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 You can change the line weights by clicking the image in the layout as well. I was doing what David was doing in his video but shift selecting the elevation wasn't giving me the dialogue box I needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRAWZILLA Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I create a special elevation layerset for sending elevations to the layout, that way every time you re-send or change the layout view it's automatic and consistent in every view sent. In that layerset just use the line weights you want for windows, roofs, trim, doors. Highly customizable. You can also set plants to a light color so it doesn't choke a scene. Some of the old videos are wrong for X8, if you use live, you won't get any lineweight options. To get lineweight options you must use plot lines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bingo. My layer set is called ELEVATIONS, EXTERIOR. All line weights and colors (grey scale) are set via the layer set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRAWZILLA Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Live views do not use line-weights from layer-sets, only plot lines do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
