Okay, well, while I'm on a roll, you can use a similar technique with the sand fill pattern to "gray out" parts of an elevation if you want the new area to be emphasized. This creates sort of an interesting stipple line style. Adjusting the lineweight of the fill and/or spacing will let you adjust the density of "gray".

I like that one too. That would be a fast way to differentiate an addition among other things. I will add the grey out box to my collection. Are you keeping any more good ones from us Richard?

Hidden foudation
Richard
Thanks for the great tip on changing my foundation to hidden lines.
Now maybe I can start using the sheet layouts instead of sending my drawings to Autocad.
That was a big issue for me that I could not get around.
Rob and Louis taught me alot at the training seminar in Kitchener last year and informed me of this great site. It sure has given me more light as to what CA can do.
Louis, yes I realize how quick this is now. I have only been using CA to get the model and elevations and then sending it to Autocad where I have an incredibly fast way of doing my working drawings, but know that keeping it in CA could even be faster and allow for easier changes.
Thank You all for all you help with this and all the other tips I have viewed.

P.S. hopefully the next training seminar will complete my transition over from Autocad to CA.

That greying out thing almost got by me - but I absolutely love it. I knew about the foundation wall trick, and my poor little brain never thought to apply the same theory elsewhere. Fabulous. Thank you a gazillion times.Wendy Lee Welton

I wrote code in 1984 to make my Sinclair 100 - so I used to be a programmer! So I can say with authority how easy it is to program Chief features! ;-)

I think we should have a "best unintended but brilliantly sneakily fabulous tip" contest - and CA should give the winner a T-shirt. Heck, maybe I'll make the T-Shirt. Um - in my spare time. Never mind. Maybe a virtual T-shirt...
