See the lines hidden by a body when it is in envelope

2D plans Layout
1

Hello

I would like to display the edges that are hidden by my building (envelope), but I don't want to display them in dotted lines.
I would like this component to be "transparent" on my drawing.

In my mind, on my plan the envelope should be dotted and let the edges hide in a strong line appear.

Thank you for your help.

Hello Anthony_bellin,

To do what you want, I will make a rendering representation for the MEP having already set the display state of the 3D. I.E., put the building in transparency so you will get what you see e, 3D will be the same in 2D.
For the dotted line there, it's not easy for me...

… Let's see if else has a better solution.
Good luck, @+.

Hello;

I don't think what you want to do is possible, but if you have access to the MyCadTools tools, you might find something similar with the " FaceFonts " tool:

(But the cartoonist deep down is outraged by the notion of edges hidden in strong lines.)
