AC20 goverride surface exception?

[Mats_Knutsson]

Hi,
I want to overrida all surface materials except glass. Basically I want a white model with glass material.

We don't have AC20 yet, but in 19 I would hotlink the .pln to a new file and use delete and replace on all but the glass material and a whitewash material.

It seems to work with rulesets, so I would guess it should be possible, unless it is an override per element rather than override certain surfaces. In latter case I would guess your whole window/door/etc element will become one surface, regardless of glass.

Thx.
Yes I think that is the case. I think it's good enough and the over rides will play an important role in how we communicate our projects in early stages (as well as in more detailed).

This GO Rule works for me. (Your Surface names may be different.)

I tried that. Maybe I did something wrong with the materials. I opened an AC19 template in 20. Will try some more.

Hi, I just did that 2 day ago, the same way David explain.

Mats:

Have you created a GO Combination that contains that GO Rule, and is that GO Combination active?
