Section Issue

Lasha97 — Tue, 18 Feb 2025 02:35:16 GMT

Hello,

I had my Elevation Settings configured in a way that all elements—beams, columns, walls, slabs, mesh tool, etc.—would appear black wherever the elevation line passed through. Below, you can see the Model Appearance Settings along with the corresponding drawing.

However, in the current file, after making minor changes to the drawing, the appearance has changed (specifically, the elements that were previously black are no longer black, which disrupts the drawing). Below, you can see the same Model Appearance Settings along with the modified drawing.

As you can see in both cases the Model Appearance Settings are same, but drawings are different.

Question: What can I do to restore the lower drawing to match the appearance of the upper drawing?

Check your Graphic Override.

also a little bit basic, but make sure you are working on the view map instead of the project map, and that you are properly saving your views according to your needs.

Cloned folders and graphic overrides are your friends here. You can easily achieve the look you need with Graphic overrides, so Ideally, your sections would repeat on diferent folders with different settings, so you edit your views on a general level instead of a per section edition, which you only use for very ad hoc fine tuning.

best of lucks!
