I may be completely blind but I was wondering if it was possible to have a color fill for wall in plan but in section the wall produces a different color fill or no fill.

thx

You'll notice in the wall tool the panel is called 'Floor Plan and Section', so by default no you can't.

You can however achieve a different fill color by assigning the fill an exclusive pen. Then when you create views, you can assign the fill pen a certain color in plan, and another color in section. Essentially you'll assign two different pen sets - one to each.

If you want the wall to have no fill, you would assign a different Model View Option Combination to each view type.
