staircase material fill not showing correctly in section

Niranjan Das Sharma — Mon, 22 Sep 2025 13:39:35 GMT

In this, slab, beam and stair has the same material - Reinforced cement concrete. In section the fill is showing diffrently. Why is this? how can i fix it? I have used an override. But stair is also added to beam slabs and columns in that override.

Is there any other setting I missed?

Hey @Niranjan Das Sharma ,

That shouldn't happen. If you are using graphic overrides, it should be fairly simple to achieve what you want.
Could you please send a screenshot of the rule (or rules, if more than one) that you are using on the particular Graphic Override combination you've applied to this view?

Thanks!

Hi @Victor_Tatrai thank you for the quick reply.

This is the only override which includes stair. and this on the top of all the rules. please check and let me know.

Take note of the Information warning.

Stairs unfortunately are nested objects.

All i can think of is you will need another rule that you can add in your GO combination (scheme) to filter for the stairs you want.

You will find in that rule, you can not filter for building material, so you will have to use something else.

Ops! any clue how it can be done?

Create a new rule that works solely for the stairs.

What criteria you will need I am not sure - maybe just the surface material?

Then add that rule and the other (remove the stairs from that one) into the GO combination that you want to use.

You can have more than one rule per GO combination.

Hey @Niranjan Das Sharma ,

As Barry mentioned, this is not possible through the materials.
I usually do it by picking the LAYER of the stairs.
I see that you want to filter only those with concrete and load-bearing, so I could also assume that they are in the same layer. If not, you could simply move all those types of stairs into a specific layer, with a new graphic override rule.

Hope that helps!
