Graphical Overlay of Complex Sections

I have created a complex section, so can the graphic overlay function fill and cover the complex section one by one?

I think you mean a 'complex profile' instead of 'complex section' - just a translation mix-up.

 

Graphic Overrides act on the entire element and unfortunately do not affect individual skins of a composite or complex profile.

So if your GO criteria match any one component in your complex profile/composite, the entire element will be overridden.

Thank you Barry, I understand your answer. It seems that I have to modify the section manager

Yes, but it is called 'Profile Manager'.

Hello Barry: After my experiments, I personally think that it is very necessary to apply the coverage function to every detail of the complex section, which is really necessary.
