Component Plan Hatch and Display representation issue

Hi,

I am trying to set some typical wall styles at my office in a way that they show more detail when in standard display representation, and less detail when in low detail representation. The more easy and logical way I found to edit the walls, is right click on them, selecting the components and changing the hatchs in the properties. So I have 1 concrete wall and 1 drywall, each one with the material assigned to it and controling the display of the walls. In standard display it works fine, the issue is when I choose low detail in the display configuration. When I select the component of the drywall and change the hatching, it also change the hatching in the concrete wall, as you can see in the pic attached. I went through the display of each material to check if the problem was in the display setting of the material but I couldn´t find anything there and I can´t think of what could be the problem. What am I missing?

The following is based on the out-of-the-box settings in drawings started with the out-of-the-box AEC Model (Imperial Stb).dwt template file in the US Imperial units content.  There may be some variation in other content.

 

The active Display Representation for Walls in the Low Detail Display Configuration for the Top (plan) view direction is Plan Low Detail.  The Boundary and Hatch components are turned off, as is Shrink Wrap Hatch and Above Cut Plane.  All that is on is Shrink Wrap and Below Cut Plane.  Below Cut Plane cannot be By Material, and Shrink Wrap is not By Material.  If you are not making the hatch change in a Style- or Object-level override, then any change you make is at the Drawing Default level and will apply to all Walls that do not have an override.

 

The Plan Display Representation for Walls has the Boundary and Hatch components turned on, and these are controlled By Material.  Each (out-of-the-box) Material Definition has Definition-level (Style-level) display overrides, which allows each Material Definition to have potentially unique display settings.
