G.O. to remove cover fill foreground/keep surface image fill in elevation

Chris Grantham — Fri, 13 Feb 2026 16:04:11 GMT

Is there a way to use GOs to remove the cover fill foreground but keep the surface image in elevations? I know you can manipulate it within the elevation settings but ideally I would like to use the same elevation tag for both color/rendered elevations and for more technical drawings. In the past I always had two different instances of elevations to cover both purposes. When I create a non color elevation I would like these fills to appear, so shutting them off within the elevation settings is a non-starter. This feels like a silly question but I have been banging my head against the wall long enough.

Thanks!

A Graphic Override can only specify a Surface override, but it cannot specify whether that Override Surface should be displayed with its Cover Fill or Texture.

As you said, that can only be done in the Elevation Settings Dialog and it affects all Surfaces in the Elevation.

Thanks Laszlo... I thought that was the case.
