Hello 🙂
Another small problem. I've set up some Graphic Override rules for a certain type of recurring designs. I would like these rules to work both in plan and in section and elevation.
But maybe Graphic Overrides aren't suitable for determining line thicknesses, maybe it's better to do it with specific and particular Pen Sets, right? For example: I entered a rule in the G.O. which says that the pen of the walls must have a certain thickness and color. And this rule works great in plan! But as soon as I go to the section, it no longer works, because the part of the wall that is not sectioned... always has that line thickness, which is precisely too thick for a projected part......
So can you confirm that for the thicknesses and colors of the lines it is NOT correct to use Graphic Overrides?
Thank you

Graphic Overrides will affect the entire element.
So if your wall is not perpendicular to the section and you can see an uncut portion of the wall, that will be affected as well.
With pen sets, you will be able to change the pen colour/thickness of the pens used for the section (skin) lines without affecting those used for the uncut lines (so long as you are using different pens for the skins and uncut lines).
