Graphic Override Orientation

Anonymous — Fri, 19 May 2023 13:21:48 GMT

Hello everyone,
I have a graphic override that has lines running vertically at about 8 inches apart. This override is applied to walls. The problem is that once I rotate the wall vertically, I do not see the pattern anymore as it is parallel to the graphic override.

Is there any way to make the orientation of the graphic override be base on the element? Very much like we do building materials.

Not that I know. The original intent of the GO was to provide quick and sweeping analysis of the building design by highlighting common groups e.g. wall with a particular fire rating. I doubt it was considered that it would be used to change the hatch and modify orientation on individual elements. It may be worth adding a wish to get GS to include an orientation option in the future.
