Elevation Style Showcase

Josh Verran
Advisor

Apologies if there has already been a post similar to this, but curious to see what elevation styles people use around the globe. Below are a couple of examples that I use, it's not a real project, more just enough elements to show use of colour, hatches etc.

Hello Josh Verran,

 

In France about dwellings, below a sample all in black and white because more practical for reprography and graphically more impactful (automatic labels on windows and shadow stripe hatches).

@Josh Verran You might have seen a better response if we could assign Styles to Views rather than the current restrictive workflow of assigning a single style to each Elevation/Section marker. I would imagine for many, that assigning multiple markers to the same elevation to display different graphic styles is reserved for well paid or managed projects. Placing a single marker and making it work using GOs for as many views as needed is possibly the default option.

Nice! I like the hatch you have chosen for shadows.

Yeah I've tried a few methods, one marker two Graphic Override Combinations, but found I couldn't quite get what I was after. Tried two different markers but then one would get altered (extents) and staff would wonder why the other hadn't updated.

 

Have settled now for one marker, but have a favourite setup for BnW and another for Colour.
