Elevation glass grey

[sknsnw9]

Is there a way to have the glass display as grey in the white model in elevation? I tried the graphic override, but it overrides the whole door / window package instead of just the glass.

Operating system used: Windows 10

As you have discovered, Graphic Overrides will override the entire element, not just a particular part of it.

Duplicate your glass material and call it something like "tinted glass".

Now in the surface materials settings, add a 50% hatch and choose the pen colour for the hatch.

Change the window glass material to the 'tinted glass' one.

Make sure in the elevation/section settings, your Model Display > Uncut Elements are set to 'Uniform pen'

Pen - colour fill is transparent (or white).

Surface - Cover Fill Foreground is turned on.

Now you will see the hatch pattern in the section/elevation - and individual windows can have different glass materials.

Only problem is it is not a switch you can turn on/off in view settings (MVO).

You could now set up a Graphic Override to make all tinted glass material an empty fill - this will affect the entire frame but you shouldn't notice as the rest of the frame has no fill anyway.
