How do I get consistent dashed line work from a self-xref which is of 3D overlapping entities? The screenshot below shows the 3D model on the left made of 3D slabs and the self-xref in the middle which has been set to dashed line type, yet some of the hips show solid. Is there a way to adjust the solid appearance to match the correct dashed appearance of the hips on the right side?

Hi Josh,

Thanks for commenting. I was trying to keep the self-xref "live" to the 3D model so as it gets amended with more detail, the self-xref would automatically update and keep accurate. As a last resort, if I can't manage to get it sorted I'll create a HLR and use that.
Hatch has Origin which allows better placement of hatch grids and patterns. I was hoping there may be a similar origin setting for line types as I could set it to the midpoint of the roof planes so the dashed spacing would be equal on both sides.
