Hi @Deffect 

 

You can draw with any 2d tool when creating a construction detail, but if you want to use a building material with that special fill on it you need to create a new symbol fill . It is important you only use lines and arcs when drawing the initial pattern for the symbol.

That cut fill is special just for sections but maybe not for plan views so you could create a new graphic override combination and its corresponding rule for only the building material in sections.

Though GOs still apply the entire elements don't they?

If I am reading correctly the question is about CMUs which are not ceramic but Concrete Masonry Units.

You can also need to read about Building Materials and Intersection Priorities.

With GOs you can create your own rules/combinations for almost any criteria and then apply them to the views you need (sections in this case).

Except if you are using a Composite wall, you override the entire element, not just the layer you are targetting. That is still on the Wishlist is it not? That was not part of 28 was it? I did not read the 28 release...

Nope.

Nothing has changed in 28.
