Elevation Fills Not Showing Correctly

Think I found a bug but I would love the community to see about recreating it.

If you create an elevation where some elements are cut and others are uncut, only certain vectorial fills will show on the uncut elements. For example, I created a slab with a building material of Concrete, using the Lightweight Concrete fill. It does not show up for an uncut element but does for a cut element.

However, if I change the "uncut" Concrete surface to have a fill of brick-common bond, the fill shows just fine. Likewise, Wood 00 shows just fine. Most all other fills do not show up on the uncut surface.

If I push the elevation marker through that uncut slab so that it becomes a cut surface, all fills show up.

I have tried virtually everything I could think of to resolve this to no avail.

I did end up getting what I wanted by using Graphic Overrides to specifically mandate that the element ID of the slab showed the Lightweight Concrete fill, but it seems a bit silly that I would have to do that when the fill should have been shown correctly in the first place.

OK, thanks. Even when I turned overrides off the hatch doesn't work for me on the uncut surface.

You could create a simple file which is simplified down to the elements necessary for the issue to appear and save it as a PLA, then put it on Dropbox or some similar site. Then we can download it and take a look at it.

Sure. Here you go. While I realize you both seem to be looking for me to be doing something wrong, has anyone tried to recreate the issue and verify if it's indeed a bug?
OK, your concrete surface has a hatch pattern.
Can you show a screen shot of the building material please?

I have tried to reproduce your problem but I am not having the same trouble.
