Bonsai: seeing elements behind other elements

issue: https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell/issues/6424

Hi,

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

Currently elements are by default not printed on a drawing if they are completely behind or beneath other elements.
E.g. beam beneath a slab is completely invisble and non existent in the svg drawing.

There should be an option to see both, maybe the 'invisible' element as hidden line or something?

As I do it now is I hide the first element, the slab in this case, and manually trace it with an outline. So now i see both the beam and the outline on a drawing, but this is of course not preferred.

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.
