    No, that's why elevations and sections must be done with the "edit layout" tool; Which takes more time; but allows me to have several line weights for the building outline. We can use shift select and marque select to speed up the process. Careful use of the edge line defaults, and the pattern defaults can also be helpful here. Wendy has explained her methods in some older posts. It was part of her process to get away from other cad. I think it is Wendy's contention that it is far easier to edit in Chief than to resort to other cad.

    Chief is far more capable than most people give it credit for. Most people don't fully understand the tool set we already have.
