Composite Fills in v17

G D Tune — Wed, 24 May 2023 07:11:30 GMT

Is there any way of altering the way a composite fill shows in section as opposed to plan. For example - using a 'glass fibre insulation' fill in a wall is great for sectional view, but in plan I just want to see a solid fill (less detail) Can this be altered by adjusting it to a scale, or by the viewset parameters? (Don't want to loose the whole composite though - ie wall, cavity + cladding)

thanks
Geoff

Anyone have any ideas to share here?

Model View Options have the ability to show or override cut fills, but not change what they are, unfortunately.

One possible work-around, though, could be to have pen sets adapted to do what you want. You could have a unique pen for your insulation fill, and in the Pen Set used for plan view make that pen the same colour as its background.

Hope this helps.
