Hi, could Rhino developers reconsider allowing user to change clipping section drawings lines’ Print Color? Normally I would like to set their Print Color “By Layer”. Currently there is no such option. The lines’ Print Color is always set to “By Display”. I hope I described the problem well. Unfor…

Second this. Wish we get to adject boundary print color one day soon.

Hi there, I can only confirm this. When working with renovations, where color coding is very important, a 3D workflow seems not possible. Really a mayor drawback. Is there any chance this will be fixed soon? Kind regards, Gabriel

Since 8.2 the print color is tied to the objects display color. Does that not help?

Hey @brian , I think this is the problem they are referring to.

But when i create a clipping drawing for it,…
