Zone Tags - show with different properties in floor plan & RCP

ELEVATE
Booster

For my reflected ceiling plan I copy the source view of the floor plan and have a dedicated MODEL VIEW OPTION and RENOVATION FILTER, In addition to another pen setting.  Essentially the RCP pen setting I have turned all pens to light grey (background) and only kept an A_RCP layer.    I want to use the same zone tag, which appears in my reflected ceiling plan, but is grey.  How can I turn it blue, without changing the pen setting in the template default settings?  - See attached pic #1.  I figured I could change the grey pen to blue in the RCP graphic override setting, but not working.   Is there any way to achieve a blue color (text) for zone tag in RCP without changing the pen # in the template default pen setting?   see attached pic #2.   Thanks

I think you will find the renovation filter is overriding the zone.

I don't think Graphic Overrides will override the renovation filters settings.

 

The zone stamp is a part of the zone and not separate annotation.

So, the zone would have to have a renovation status that is not overridden by the renovation filter.

 

Or use zone labels.

These are separate annotation and in the renovation filters you can not to override annotation elements.

That may help.

I would set the zone stamp to another pen number that is not turned gray in your RCP pen set. You have plenty of unused pens as I see.
