Building Materials: Section Cut Fill vs Plan Cut Fill

JeffH

Within the Building Material dialog, it currently has a single option for Cut fill

 

Currently it looks like this

My wish is adjust this to an option for Plan Cut Fill and also an option for Section Cut Fill.

The perfect Building Material example would be Concrete Block or Brick

CMU in Section is 8" tall (7-5/8" + 3/8"),    In plan, those are not the dimensions.  Yet we can only make one selection for its appearance across the board. 

 

But if there were 2 options, we could have a fill that shows Brick Coursing for sections, while still seeing the industry standard hatch for Brick in plan view.

 

I'm sure there would be other instances where this would be useful, but until Graphic Overrides can work for individual skins of an element , I don't see a useful workaround outside of having to place a 2d coursing object on my sections overtop of the walls, when we want to show that level of detail

Absolutely. While GO's can tackle this, it would be hugely beneficial to just set it up once in the building material settings, and not have to worry about it.
