Overriding the "to be Demolished" default in Renovation tool

[Anonymous]

Here I am again, in hell. The renovation tool, even though I set it in the pull down menu, refuses to show my balcony railing. There has to be a way to tell everything to be on the existing layer, not the demolition layer...as the default, or else I am going to go nuts here.

I am trying to layout an existing Heritage home that is EXISTING. But every single, window, door, wall, library part, line, dimension and every tool has a default set to "to be Demolished". Now my library parts won't even show at all because of this.

Can you please tell me how to override this stupid default please.

Try having the Renovation Palette visible, works for me in terms of seeing and setting the renovation status of elements. Also make sure that the Existing Elements is set to Show in the Renovation Filter Options (accessible via the Renovation Palette). If elements have the wrong Renovation status, then Show All in 3D, use Find and Select to select all elements that are not Existing, and use Edit Selection Set to change their Renovation status.

Finally, Eric Bobrow came through with the answer....there are two places in the pull down menus where the renovation status shows up. The one I was setting under document/set Renovation filter and Window/Pallets/Renovation which I now set ALSO.

On my current project we are going to have "studies" of what can be done for the client and us to discuss; there will be several "studies" and many discussions. Do you think is is possible to add Study 1, Study 2, etc (as many as 😎 to this filter and get them to show properly?

One of my issues with the renovation filter is it keeps on changing the default elements. I click the button to have all default elements to be on the proposed filter, but then I navigate around the project and it changes. I am constantly having to double check the palette to see what filter I am putting elements on. Mildly annoying...

Yes. Should be saved with view, at least.
