Window/Door Schedules: Preview column in color on layout

Jeff Kogut — Tue, 22 Nov 2016 16:08:55 GMT

We are trying to add schedules and I'm finding the output to be squirrley. It seems like I had the look all set up and at some point AC decided to change the way the view looked.

This is what it now looks like with the view placed on a sheet, with color:

Below is what I'd like it to look like on the layout, this is obviously the schedule itself. I did have the layout view at one point looking like the schedule view, not sure what changed. Trying to correct it I've tweaked so many settings that I'm not sure where to go from here. Any ideas?

In version 19 and before the colour was controlled with the Model View Options (override fills) but now in 20 I think this is controlled with the Graphics Overrides.

Finally after 2 of us poking around on this for about an hour we figured it out. Yes, it is the Graphic Override. We didn't realize we had to not only edit the override, but also add Find & Select type criteria.

See this post and see if that helps.
You need to use a GO that has a rule to make all background fills transparent.

Ignore the other posts there as it seems Tom was having a slightly different issue.
