Section Views and Plan Views

[Too Long]

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.

I just recently saw a post on LinkedIn where an Archicad user used AI commands to generate individual Walls of a Composite Wall's skins. I think the solution was not working flawlessly yet, because if the Wall has Doors/Windows, then you have to generate Doors/Windows or empty Openings in all derivative Walls. But these details can also be solved with time.

So, I guess, if someone develops such a tool or command that does this, places the individual skins on a separate layer, then those individual skins can be overridden graphically. AI is making such workflows possible.

@Laszlo Nagy  ; I have used cadimage coverings as a wainscott feature... maybe down the road, the coverings can be developed into a more intuitive method of having dynamically linked wall finishes. Then we could just model walls as core components and attach the coverings (interior and exterior) similarly to placing a door or window.
The cool thing about that solution is, it's not just the finish, it can also include base boards, chair rails, picture rails, maybe even crown moulding if it is ever developed to include complex profiles!

that may also clear up some of the wall to wall, wall to slab, and wall to roof junction slop in plan and section views.

You could make your concrete fill "solid" by changing Pen Set to one where your concrete foreground pen is the same as your background pen.
