Section Views and Plan Views

A wall composite with diagonal fills is shown as a solid fill in plan with a graphic override and with the diagonal fill in section.

In the case of a concrete filled cavity wall, how can I have the concrete show solid in plan as white but with a concrete fill pattern in section? The below example section is drawn using a 2d fill for the concrete.

This is the GO rule that hides the fills in plan.

There is a limitation in Archicad, which is that Graphic Overrides always work on the whole element. There is no way currently to override only specific skins of a Composite, for example. There is already a wish for this functionality, if you want to vote for it:

you would need to model sections of the wall using separate walls so that only the intended walls are affected by the graphic overrides.

...

general Archicad rule: model with as few elements as is reasonable to get the level of detail/precision that is required. In this case, fewer elements may just not be reasonable. 
we run into the same thing with renovation/remodels where walls are stripped down to the studs. Model as-built with just framing, then the new skins are shown as additional walls. we don't usually show plaster/gyp as demo, so its fine.
