I would like to be able to hide individual lines in my section views in order to make the drawings look correct. One specific example is shown in the image. I'd like to be able to hide the line between the 2 elements so it looks like one solid element.
I understand that if you can model it 'correctly' you should, but its not always possible, and sometimes modelling it correctly means that it looks messy on a drawing.
In Revit, this is achieved by using an invisible linestyle on that particular line. It works very well and helps a tonne when creating drawings.
See here for explanation: https://www.graitec.co.uk/blog/entry/revit-tip-invisible-line-style#:~:text=The%20'Linework'%20tool%20can%20be,are%20changed%20to%20'Invisible'.
However, I don't think there's a similar feature in OpenBridge/Microstation.
If it's not possible, what do people use as a workaround for this?
Thanks.
I have since found a good solution for this issue: Reference Mask. The way this works you place a fence around a reference you want to modify, it masks it, copies the elements inside that fence into the active model, and allows you to manipulate those elements. It does exactly what we need it to do, unfortunately I have seen plotting issues with it so there may be some fixes needed to make it 100% viable.
