Hi,
I am looking for a more accurate graphical representation of a building material of wooden railing, which obviously have different representation in their plan view with respect to the vertical section.
I have used a generic fill so far but I would like to increase the degree of realism in this kind of specific building material. I mean the actual system with only a fill for a building material works fine for me in most of the materials (bricks, stone, isolation, concrete..). But vertical or horizontal view in railings have so different graphical representation that it wil be great to find a workaround to improve that.
Does anyone have a magic solution to this? Is there any news coming in the future?
thanks,
Alberto

You could create a Wood Bmat specifically for your railings, ensuring it has the cut fill you need in the section view. Since the cut plane for floor plans is usually above the top of the railing, you shouldn’t have any issues displaying different cuts in the plan and section views. If you do need to show the railing cut in the plan, you can set up a Graphic Override to change the cut fill of any railings with your new Bmat to the desired fill you want to see in the plan.

Graphic Override doesn't work selectively for a specific material construction in a composite. It overrides the fills of every material.
