Imported ACIS file section cut pattern

[maxYK65C]

I have a .sat file linked into my Revit file nested within an inplace family. when assigning the cut fill pattern I am unable to set solid fill as the pattern. I am able to select other hatch patterns, but none of them can be made opaque, and the inside of solid objects remains visible. short of tracing the section cuts with a fill region does anyone have any suggestions?. Thanks

Please note that this discussion forum is dedicated to programming Revit using the Revit API.

It is unclear to me whether you are asking this question from a programming or an end user point of view.

Are you doing anything programmatically yourself, or just using the standard Revit user interface?

If you are not doing anything programmatically yourself using the Revit API, I am afraid this is not the best place to ask such a question.

You cannot expect an answer to a question such as yours relating to product setup, optimisation, usage or other end user support issues here.

You should try one of the non-API Revit product support discussion forums instead for that:

https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-api-forum/this-forum-is-for-revit-api-programming-questions-not...

The people there are much better equipped to address this topic than us programming nerds.

If you are doing it programmatically, please be aware that the Revit API hardly ever supports any functionality that is not also available in the user interface.

Therefore, if the UI does not support this, the API will probably not do so either.

So, it will always help to research the optimal manual approach to a solution first, before attacking the task programmatically.

I hope this clarifies.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Best regards,

Jeremy
