Building Materials - hide fills in 2d plan

[Gabriel Cristea]

I've recently added in a few new building materials and assigned them to the wall composites.

My goal now is to have the 2D / GA plan show minimal detail, just a solid colour instead of a hatch. Current view after the building material changes:

Before this change, the walls used to look like this (ignore the thicker lines, this is a screenshot from an exported drawing):

Any way I can achieve this without having to simplify my building materials or wall composites?

Operating system used: Windows 10

Hi,

You might want to look into graphic overrides - you can override the cut fill and cut fill pens as you wish and save it without affecting the original drawing.

I've tried that and it somewhat works but it only appears to allow me to set one colour for the entire wall, it cannot have multiple. I tried to create 3 separate rules, 1 for plasterboard, 1 for timber frame and 1 for insulation all with different colours but the graphic override only takes the colour of 1 of them into account at a time.

It should be able to do your intended overrides. Can you maybe share one of the rules you made? 

[Gabriel Cristea]

This is one of the rules, and below you have all 3 rules. You can see the different colours set as examples; in this configuration, walls are pale orange, ignoring the green and black overrides.

Thank you! 

I tried to replicate your situation and I'm facing the same issues:

After some searching I have found this wishlist item, and apparently this is not a current feature, and has been requested previously: https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Visualization/Feature-request-Graphic-Override-for-building-mate...

[Gabriel Cristea]

That's really disappointing and defeats the purpose of the building materials... Thanks for your time in trying to help find a solution.

You can opt to only override the fills and not the colours
