Layer set join numbers

gotphish001 — Thu, 25 May 2023 22:02:22 GMT

In the layer sets there is a number for each layer. It controls what joins with what. 1 joins with 1 but not with 2 or 3, 0 doesn't join with anything even another 0. This feature is great and gets around many problems that I had with 3d views not looking correct.

So my issue is this. Each layer join number(not sure the tech term) is independent for each layer set which is an awesome amount of control. The problem is 99.9999% of the time I want to change the join number for ALL the layer sets not just one. Is there a way to do this? I have 50 layer sets easily in my template. If I change layer-A-floor slab to layer join number 3, I don't want to do it 50 times.

I don't have AC with me just now but I think what you are asking can be done in Attribute Manager.

Yes it can be done in the Attribute Manager (I think only version 22 onwards).
There you can select multiple layer combinations and then change the Intersection Priority number of the layer you want to change.
It will then be set to that in all of the selected layer combinations.

Though not explicitly mentioned in the linked article, Intersection Groups can also be controlled in the same way.

Select a Layer Combination or multiple
Select the desired Layers
Modifying any of the layer attributes will modify said attribute for every selected layer in every selected Layer Combination
