Overriding renovation filter pen styles

Tijana
Booster

Hello

 

I am using AC25. How can I override pen colours and types made by renovation style rules? For example, my overhead roof line is not dashed any more but solid (because of the renovation status). I tried adding a criteria to override this rule, but no success. 

 

Thanks in advance, 

Tijana

I assume you have the renovation filters set to override the line type of all existing elements? The rules run in order so as long as you rule states to include roofs which are set to existing status to be a dashed dot line type, the rule applied by the renovation filter should not be applied as the rule you have defined has been run first. 

it looks like from your screenshot that you need to add ‘Renovation Status to the criteria in the top half of the rule window and select ‘Existing’.
