How do you show hatch in one Elevation and not in another?

I would like to show the same Elevations at one scale with hatch and shade, and at another scale in a different Layout with out the hatch.
Is that possible? It seems simple enough.

The reason I am trying to do that is so I can put some small Elevations in the drawing for my Window Schedules for quick reference.

If you are talking about the automatic hatch and shade from your surfaces/building materials then you will have to use two separate elevations.
One with vectorial hatching/shadows on and the other with it off.

This is because these settings are controlled in the elevation settings and unfortunately these elevation settings are not saved with the views in the view map.
The different scale is not a problem as that is saved with each view.

If you are hand drawing the hatch/shade with fills then you could do that in a separate layer and that can be controlled in the view settings so you would only need one elevation but the hatch/shade will not be automatic if your model changes.

Thanks Barry,
I never thought of using two elevations. That works for me.

You could also completely overwrite / hide all cover fills with model view options, I think.
