I have a drawing that has a 3dbody above another 3d body. Is there an option to allow the lines from the bottom body to be seen though the top body in a 2d drawing. (Example - a range hood with equipment under it.)

Someone else may know if that can be done, but would it help to project the lines to a construction plane?

@Geeoob Try using the visualization mode and make the range hood a semi transparent material.

Edit nvm I can’t read this won’t help you at all.

Select all the items you want and have it be a top down view in the 2d drawing
