AC21 - Graphical overides - solid composites

Hi,

In previous versions of ArchiCAD there was an option in model view to show components as solid on 2d as far as I remember well it was also working in the 3d display, therefore, exported walls where not divided int to separate material layers. It was really helpful when exporting complex projects.

Is there any option to do the same with material overrides. Of course, we can do section and surface material override. However, In this case, I would like to have different materials.

In short, After export, I would like to have the wall with its own material colour form both sides but without all the internal layers like bricks, insulation etc.

So you just want finishes to show with a predefined core?

I do not believe that this can be achieved through Overrides as they work by object type as far as I can tell, so you can't just override a portion of a wall. I might be wrong about this though as I've only spent a couple of hours experimenting with it...
