Find walls with surface override on

I'm struggling to find all walls in my project that have surface override on.

The best would be to have a graphic override that highlights all wall elements that have any surface override on, but as far as I can tell that is not possible. The next would be to create a schedule, but cant find a way to do that ether. The goal is to do some quality control of the model.

 

Does anyone have suggestions to how this can be done?

Hello martinij,

I agree with you but I hope I am wrong.

Hi, this has a solution.

 

Create a new Surface Schedule (the one with a paintbrush icon) in the fields just click "add" and scroll to the surface dropdown, you'll find a specific field for "surface differs from building material" (which means there's an override).

 

Cheers!
