Demo wall fill obscures new content

[zrbrock]

Hello All,

  I'm having a problem with the fill of my demo walls obscuringnew content.  See the bathtub and color fill. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Thank you for visiting our blog.

To fix the issue please:

1. Select the demolished wall

2. Right click on it

3. Select "Override Graphics in View"

4. Set the transparency to 100%

This should take care of it.

This solution works, but it would be better if Revit set the transparency of demo walls to 0% as a default.

100% transparency...

Great I am glad I could help.

We understand that this may not be the preferred workflow, but as I mentioned previously, this has been logged with our Development group, who are working to fix the behavior.

I understand that this may not be the preferred workflow, so I am including the following link. It is setup for you to submit feature requests, or feedback, directly to our development team:

http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=1109794

I encourage you to use the feedback link as our Development group is always interested and would like to hear your feedback directly, since you are better suited to state the business case for a feature request.

I have the same issue, the demolition phased walls cover new layouts, this obscures important information below, not ideal for any sort of plan drawing where you want to show all. Demolition walls should be outlined with no solid fill inside as default.

That maybe convenient for floor plan views but not for section/ elevation views.  Think about it.

Make non-transparent things transparent via Filters of Override is relatively easy.  The other way around?  Not so.

I have this same issue in Revit 2019 - given this post is now 6 years old has this been sorted?

Graphic overides are not the best workflow for us - they are hard to track so we do not encourage it.

Hopefully something simple I am missing, Thanks
