Allow marked distant areas linework in cross sections to respect graphic overrides

Paul King

Currently graphic overrides alter the appearance of only items before the marked distant area in cross sections, wrongly implying to the viewer that distant objects are not in the category that graphic overrides are trying to highlight.

 

Certainly, the case remains that distant objects should always look different/ more distant in section compared to close objects, but the graphic overrides dialog should also thus include an additional set of parameters to control distant objects appearance - or even better a 'smart.' pen intensity fading option based on main override pen colour, so no separate pen needs to be defined.

 

The current deficit in functionality is very problematic when the graphic override is intended to code items that meet a given criteria by pen colour - because the distant objects will continue to match the appearance of items outside that category, even when they belong within the category. 

 

The below screenshot is from a section that has a graphic override applied such that all items in Design Option 2 are supposed to display in orange.  But because the doors are in the marked distant area of the section marker, they wrongly display as unchanged (i.e. in grey) - wrongly communicating, for contractual and other purposes, that they are in Design Option 1
