Cut Patterns

Is it possible to have the cut pattern of a material like soft wood lumber appear black on all plans, but have the soft wood lumber appear grey in sections? If you try to do it from the visibility graphics for the wall it changes the entire wall including finishes the grey color which I do not want.

 

Both plan and sections need to be set to fine detail. So coarse fill pattern is out.

 

Thanks!

I'm assuming you want to do this to some sort of assembly?

If so, you can break it out into parts, and override the graphics in the section of the wood element and make it halftone.

@ryley.g.h Unfortunately no, this is for all of our building walls.

What about using the foreground fill pattern for plans, and the background fill pattern for sections (or the other way round). Use a view template to control the visibility of each in the required views.

@Lachlan-JWP I must be missing something. Setting the foreground and background fill patterns doesn't change how they view in plan vs section. It still shows black in sections and plan. Can you elaborate more?

Can you post a picture of how you want it to look in plan vs how you want it to look in section?

Couldn't you just create a material that cuts as black, but in the section view template change the VG for the cut pattern so ONLY the colour overrides to grey?

@leahmbell 

 

I believe the only decent way to do this is to convert the walls to parts then use overrides for the relevant Part"s material if it is Lumber.

 

Edit: Use a Filter and add that to plans views View template and all the plans will have Soft lumber in Black while all Sections remain as per original Material graphics (Make sure the view show Parts)

@leahmbell  I think @RDAOU's solution might be the easiest. The method I was suggesting would require some effort changing the material cut patterns to suit. Not a lot of effort overall, but certainly more than the method above.

@RDAOU Thanks for the solution, I have not worked with parts before. I see that it will do what I am after, but is it a bad idea to break all my walls into parts just to be able to achieve the 2 different fill patterns?

Break them? It is quite a useful tool in revit and we use it quite often. Dont worry the walls will not break...

You can always set your view to show original wall or both parts and original ...and if you want to com9letely get rid of the parts you can also delet them and revert to the original status without parts at all
