You could have a look at the way Paul Russam does roadmarkings. Looks quite good too!
-
This is the same as with 3D text - viewing from a distance, the black edges override the coloured faces.
You can either use the color lines by material way that Remus mentioned or you can also hide them away say onto a hidden layer (or use tzhe hide tool but then you'd need to group the entities). -
Thanks guys
I worked out a way I made a layer called 'parking-lines' and layed out the parking and road markings, then I filled it in on another layer 'site'. Then I turned the 'parking-lines' layer off. -

How did you select lines by material?
-
Go to the Styles window > in model > default style (I guess you are modelling in it) > edit tab > at the bottom you can see the dropdown menu where you can set the lines "by material".

Got it, works well
-
Cool. BTW that was the first hint given by Remus in this thread...
-
I usually make my parking lines 100mm wide by say 5500mm long and construct one of them using the rectangle tool.... I then fill the rectangle with White..... then I copy the White filled recatangle to create each of the carparking spaces and then soften (hide) the black lines.
You are then left with a 100mm wide white line with no black line borders.
Seems to work well but it can be tedious if you have a very large carpark.
