Graphical overwriting of column segments

Attila

Hi everyone,

 

My question is whether, if there is a column divided into segments, is it possible to set separate graphic overrides for the surfaces of these segments? If the segments have different cross-sections and I would like to display them with different colors, for example.

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

Unfortunately Graphical Overrides affect the entire element.

Segmented columns and beams are still considered as one single column or beam, just as a composite wall with multiple skins is considered as one single wall.
