In a viewport, how do I make edges which are hidden behind other parts of the model appear dashed or dotted whilst the directly visible edges remain solid?

Thanks

are we talking 3D-models or 2D-drawings?

 

3D models

Thanks

Ok, have moved your thread to the 3D-modelling part and hope you get some help here.

The system variable is VSOBSCUREDEDGES. Set it to 1.

Also, to change the style of the hidden lines, look at the OBSCUREDLTYPE system variable

Example of dashed lines for obscured edges using plain AutoCAD. System variable settings as noted.

franky: First. Your're welcomed. Second. You don't have to wait to offer help. I'm doing some sheetrock work this weekend at my house. Come over early and bring your tools. I'll put a pot of coffee on and set out some nice warm biscuits. Don't be late. LOL

haha sounds good i'll hop on the Learjet. Look for Franky's Worldwide On Demand Drywall Inc. I'll expect some pretty good drawings of the job...
