Predicted rest-frame EWs of the high-ionization lines [Ne IV] λ2424 (top) and Fe VIIλ5160 (bottom) as a function of observer inclination angle. The curves represent CLOUDY photoionization models for an NLR or CLR with gas density n_H = 10⁵ cm⁻³, column density N_H = 10²² cm⁻², metallicity 0.1 Z_⊙, and a global covering factor of C_NLR = 10%. The clouds are assumed to be located along the polar axis and illuminated by the hard, unattenuated funnel continuum (modeled using the Model B SED at i = 30°). Different colors correspond to ionization parameters ranging from log U = −1.0 to −3.0. The rise in EWs at high inclinations (i ≳ 50°) results from the geometric suppression of the observed continuum flux due to self-shadowing, while the intrinsic line luminosity remains high, driven by the intense polar searchlight.
