clean architectural plans using composites

[alemanda]

Hi to all,
I'd like to use the composites to have a more detailed plan.
At the same time, using the live model, I'd like to be able to switch from a very detailed plan to a very simple clean architectural plan.
I tried to to some test playing with model view options but I didn't get the expected result. In fact, even overriding the cut fills and turning off the skin separator lines, the result presents still skin separator lines.
Look at the attached pdf file.
Any (automatic) workaround?
Is it a bug? It seems that the code to write the GDL for 2D plan is incomplete (it does the job partially).
I tried the demo of AC17 but it is the same.
Thanks

Yes, I have the same problem.
I need to create two different documents pln to create an administrative drawing and working drawing. It's a lost of great amount of time.
It could be an option like: "Override composite wall setting for a scale above 50, otherwise override the basic wall setting". I mean contour pen, background pen, fill pen, fill symbol. In fact every wall already have different setting for composite and basic wall. You can switch from the different setting with a simple override in model view option.

It's could be really a very great enhancement.

Meanwhile my work around has been to use three specific pens for the "interior" of the composite and control that thru Pen Sets, making then "White", "Gray" or "Black" as necessary based on scale of drawing or information.

@ejrolon
This is a good workaround.

I think that the option already implemented should work as we expect overriding everything ... Simply it doesn't work as it should ...

Hope they fix it even for ac16
