    <description>&lt;P&gt;Subcategories are great for fine-tuning object graphics. Through the Object Styles window we can set the SubCategory graphic settings to be different from the Category's. However, options to override Subcategory Graphics per View (Template) are &lt;STRONG&gt;limited to Lines settings. Surface Patterns and Transparency are excluded&lt;/STRONG&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We understand some Categories have reduced&amp;nbsp;options for Visibility/Graphics (non-cuttable Categories obviously don't offer&amp;nbsp;Cut style overrides), but please &lt;STRONG&gt;open up the SubCategory settings to the extent of&amp;nbsp;the main Category settings&lt;/STRONG&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Example: why can I override the Surface Pattern&amp;nbsp;for the Door Category as a whole, but not for just the 'Door Panel' Subcategory?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;When our designers&amp;nbsp;complain about Revit's clunky modeling engine, I point to its documentation powers. But for that argument to hold, limitations like this one need to be lifted. Thanks much!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Totally Agree I'm having issues with the surface pattern if the glass subcategories under Door categories, in elevations I want them to display the Glass subcategory as black, but on legends and sections I want the glass surface to display as a mild Gray. Unfortunately there is no option to set up the preferences because the surface pattern for the door subcategories is grayed-ou. The only way to control it is by changing the glass material foreground and that will be same in all the instances of the family. I had to turn of the Glass subcategory to avoid the black color I want to display in elevations, but I cannot get another color for the glass because it depends on the material.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
