LINEWORKS ?
Don’t use them, they are not compatible with depth cueing and cannot be included in view template.
AMBIENT SHADOWS ?
They are too dark in black and white. Only use them with colored views.
COLORS ?
Use black and white for construction documents. Consistent colors can be great for presentation elevations. In this case, you can also use ambient shadows.
