MAKE IT EASIER TO SEE DEMO WORK

 

This is a little trick that I've used when I have a lot of demolition keyed notes to put on a drawing.  It's hard sometimes to differentiate between the new walls and the existing walls.  After a while it all starts to look like the same mess of black walls/toilets/doors/etc.  Here's a quick way to help you get thru that.  Turn all of the demo items to RED.  

 

 

 

 

It's easy to do...

  1. Go to the MANAGE TAB and click on PHASES at the far right.
  2. On the menu that opens up, click on the GRAPHIC OVERIDES TAB.
  3. Then for both Demolished Projection/Surface Lines and Cut Lines... click on the little box that has the dashed line in it.
  4. CHANGE THE COLOR TO RED FOR BOTH LINE TYPES. 
  5. This will make all the demolished items in your plans red and easier to see.

 

WARNING!!!  Make sure to go back and change these BACK TO BLACK BEFORE YOU PRINT.  These red lines don't print to pdf well and wouldn't show up on printed sets very well.
