Demolished wall in plan & section differ using Reno filters

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I am having trouble using the Renovation Filter displaying a "demolished" wall in section. See attached. I am using the graphic overrides in the Renovation Filters so that all "Existing" objects are in a black solid hatch fill, all "New" objects are in a grey solid hatch fill, and all "Demolished" objects only have a dotted red outline.

In plan, it looks fine. As described in the image the demolished wall butts up against an existing wall. However, the section of this has something going on. There the area behind the demolished wall shows up blank, even though we all know there is an existing wall behind it.

Any clues?

This is just a guess, but try putting the demolished wall on a different Layer Intersection Group Number. This may prevent the demolished portion from interacting with the existing portion which then may allow the showing of the existing wall beyond.

Good guess..but no cigar.

I think that is just the way it is.
The plan view is a 2D representation so you wall is really just a fill and because you have set a transparent background to your fills then this is what you are seeing.
However in section you are cutting the wall and that cut has the transparent background as well but there is still a physical 3D wall behind the cut which I assume is why you can't see the wall behind.

In fact in plan I can't override the background fill of the wall - it always remains transparent (unless of course I set a solid fill - then the foreground colour is used).

Hi Barry, OK - thanks.
