Hi
One question about printing. Since we are using ABD we see pen table is not very useful. I mean when you create an elevation view or a section view and then you print it you can not control graphic display. The door in the foreground and the door in the background look the same: black.
In MS when you draw, you can the control way the graphics look through the pen table:
- elements in the foreground: black
- elements near the foreground: grey
- elements far from the foreground: lighter grey
Doing this you can create clear and clean elevations and sections plans with flat perspective and detail value. Nowadays with ABD we can create sections and elevations sheets faster but they are very messy and they are very difficult to understand to us and our customers because everything look the same.
We think we need urgently some way or tool to control this. Maybe a display style based on the z-display in section an elevations views or maybe some change in pen table. Is this possible?
Regards

Hi Marc The other day taking a look into Revit 2017 I saw this new feature: [...] called depth cueing. Depth cueing is used to illustrate depth in your elevations and section views. So the way it works is objects that are close to the cut line will appear in full intensity and as they move further away from the cut line, they'll start to recede back in intensity as they move away and become less intense.[...] It works in a very simple way: 1. Select the elevation view in the sheet file 2. Activate depth cueing option 3. Play with a slider between 0=near=dark and 100=far=light grey The result are elevation views and section views that are clear, practical and understandable. It is what we are asking via SR. Any new about this? Thanks and regards Borja
