I have an architectural drawing that has a basin on the wall with boxing below it along the wall/floor junction. Rather than snip out the portion of the boxing that would be hidden by the basin above, can I give the basin outline an opaque fill so that the boxing is automatically hidden if I slide …

Thanks Pete, I did understand what CVH meant but I did an experiment just to confirm that 255 = totally opaque and 0 = totally transparent so 255 is what I need and what the hatch block was originally set to when I created it. I think, Andrew, I’ve managed to workout the settings I need to get it t…
