Bonsai: extra lines to an (parametric) element

issue: https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell/issues/6423

Hi,

The second item in the Drawings & Documentation proposal: https://community.osarch.org/discussion/2640/drawings-documentation-donation-proposal#latest

It's about the need for an option to add custom lines to elements which may or may not be parametric.

For example, this could include centerlines for beams or a line on an other arbitrary position with styles different from a standard continuous line. Hidden faces line instead of continuous for a slab is another example.

So in basis it's about controlling the way an (parametric) element is printed, by being able to choose and add multiple line styles.

Currently I'm manually adding lines to get the centerlines etc to show up for every element. I think this should be automatic!

Much appreciated!

General Note about Projects: 

Anyone familiar with software development knows that it's sometimes hard to determine when exactly the project is complete.   Even when the scope is clearly defined, quite often there's a sense that more can be done to refine the project.  This is unavoidable, so in that light, to be fair to both the funders and solution providers, the steering committee will act as the arbiter to determine when the project is done and when the funds should be distributed.  When it's 'done' will also be a factor of how much the funding is relative to how involved the scope is.  That is say, if a very small amount of funding is provided, for a solution that would require a lot more funding, the steering committee can allocate funds for partial solutions, as well.

Please note, if no one provides a solution to the project with a year (365days), the funds dedicated to this project will be transferred over to OSarch's general funding. The OSArch steering committee will then allocate the funding to other projects.
