Graphic Override for Wall Ends

dsfahsdfhn — Tue, 16 Jan 2024 21:18:44 GMT

Is there anyway to override wall ends? I'm just getting this:

Surely the wall ends should be subject to the same graphic override as the subject wall, or alternatively be a specific object type that an override can apply to?

This is Archicad 25.

Wall ends are object so they don't use the 'cut fill' like walls do.

They use 'drafting fills' which just happen to mimic the cut fills used in the wall.

So turn on the drafting fill button in your GO rule.

Also you don't need to use criteria for 'is wall end' because you have already told the criteria that you want everything that 'is not mesh'.

Thanks Barry,

I added wall end as a criteria just to show it wasn't excluded, but yes you are correct I can delete that criteria.

Bummer about it being a drafting fill, as I use them in the drawings for a separate graphical layer.

Nonetheless I'll figure something out now - likely just add more criteria to exclude the override

Not really working!

That is because your criteria is only looking for walls.

My image was just a screen capture of your image - I didn't look at what you had for the criteria.

You will need to add element type is 'wall end' as well.
