Wall Appearances In Plan View

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 06:45:58 GMT

Hey guys, this should be an easy answer for the more experienced. In our documents we like to show a wall legend. If we have the some construct of a wall but different heights, we'll show a different "fill" for instance. Any wall that is different we change the appearance. Is there a way to accomplish this without making new walls for each instance? I messed with the fill tool, but I see that as being a tedious task at some locations, mainly openings.

Here's an example, sorry for the large image:

One thing that you can set for individual Walls is a Cut Fill Foreground/Background Pen override.
Select the Wall, and in the Floor Plan and Section panel, under Cut Surfaces, set the Override Cut Fills Pens field to Foreground, Background or Both and then set the Pen(s) to the desired values.

I don't know if this solves all cases or not, though.

This is so close, but we don't print floor plans in color. If this is the only option, we may need to adapt. I'm looking for fills preferably. The other issue is this option will go across all views, sometimes we'll need to show fills, but wouldn't need to show the wall fill as they may be dashed lines for instance. Thanks for the suggestion!
