Override Fill background color checkbox... still confused

svpribyl — Thu, 21 Mar 2024 01:58:45 GMT

I read this from Lazlo, but I'm still confused. Could someone walk me through it in detail? Do I need to set up a new Graphic Override? Which buttons do I need to click? How do I assign a Graphic Override to a schedule?

Thank you.

"Whether the 3D Front Views of Doors/Windows in a Schedule appear shaded or not is controlled by the Override Fill Background Color checkbox in the Model View Option Combinations Dialog."

Operating system used: Mac Intel-based 13.6.3

You need a graphic override that makes fill backgrounds transparent.

This is the rule you need - I am pretty sure it is in the default template.

Add this rule to a Graphic Override Combination and then use that GO combination when viewing the schedule.

Save a view of the schedule and you can set that GO combination there so it is always automatic.

I have a GO combination called 'Schedules'.

Hi Barry,

I'm trying to set it up as you explain, but for some reason it's not working. I set up a GO called Schedules. I applied the GO in the settings to the door schedule. Changing these settings not affecting the window schedule either, it seems. I attached a window schedule as well. Should I try creating new schedules?

It seems you have created the rule and the GO combination, but you have not added the transparent background rule to the 'schedule' combinaation.
