How to make "Existing" AND "New" door and window symbols show up on plan?

is it a model view option or a renovation filter option thing?
I need both the "existing" doors and windows AND the "new" doors and windows to show their door and window symbols on plan.

How do I do that without having to remove each "existing" door object and inserting a "new" door object in the exact same place? Please...help.

THANKS DAVID...
I'll give that a try.
should I then need to create a new renovation filter based on a duplicate of the original?

You can create new Filter Settings - Show All.
Since you want to show existing and new, do not tick any of the settings below.

Or was the existing needs to be demolished. It depends if you also want a colour override for representation, then Graphic Override takes place.

Hope it helps

I would, as showing markers for existing doors is not typical in my practice.

Agreed...its not typical in my practice either but....this one particular architect insists on indicating the windows that are "existing" in a schedule so that the T24 (we have here in SoCali a thing called "Title24" energy requirements) that need to be indicated
