Wood Column Hatch in Plan

Anonymous — Thu, 23 May 2019 20:25:39 GMT

I've been using the attached timber column family from the Revit library (first time using it). In my model I'm assigning it a wood material that has one hatch for surface pattern and a different hatch for cut pattern. But in plan/RCP where the plan view cuts through the column I see the surface pattern.

I tried cutting a vertical section directly through the column and noticed that the cut pattern is working there. Does
Revit not recognize plan cuts as horizontally-oriented sections? Is there a way to get this column hatch to read as sectioned through without doing a bunch of annotative regions?

I'm not sure what you are seeing, but your Column displays Surface and Cut Patterns correctly for me.

...I wondering if the post I deleted might actually have been on point. Pre-Cut vs. Not Pre-Cut Behavior?

Still, I can't seem to replicate what you are describing. I tried on 2019.2.

@ToanDN : Are you getting the same behavior the OP is describing?

@Anonymous : View Visibility/Graphic Override. Final answer.

Yep that was the problem, someone did graphic overrides in view. I thought I checked that when I was going through the problem the first time but I obviously missed something. Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the family mods @ToanDN - it will come in handy for this and other models!
