Best way to show zones in section

Yvonne

What's the best way to show coloured zones (that corresponds with plan) in section?

Is it a combination of section settings and graphic overrides? or is there something else we can do now?

First make sure that the Project Preferences > Legacy option to hide zones in section is turned off.

Then if you have no Graphic Overrides, you should see the zone in section just as it appears in plan (so long as the zone has a height).

You can use GOs to override or hide the zone (make it transparent).

Have a look at the default template and you should see all the rules.

Thanks Barry.

Sounds like what we're doing is the way to do it.... was hoping there was a setting option in the zone itself that I missed! Would make things a lot more straight forward!
