Hello.
We are changing the interior layout of a house which we designed. Hence all the walls so far are created in phase "new construction". I've made a new phase called "преработка" (redesign). The walls which are going to be removed are demolished in this phase and all walls we are adding are created in it. So far so good, I've made a new filter setting for this case. But when a new wall overlaps with a demolished wall, the pattern of the new one glitches - it turns white instead of the grey solid I've set for all new walls.
Attaching screenshot of the glitch.

is it set on Show Complate:
I would have made the old new walls existing. Not sure if that would have helped with your issue but you didn't mention it.

I'm not sure I understand correctly but the wall which we are removing is the one with the red dash line. It was created in phase "new construction" and demolished in phase "redesign". But changing the phase it was created to "existing makes to difference to how the thinner wall (which has to be grey) is displaying.
No. I've made a custom Phase filter as we need specific graphic for the changes we made, so that project can be legally executed.
With show complete as a filter I can see only new walls and the ones which are remaining untouched.
With my filter which I've called "redesign" I've overwritten the new and the demolished walls (as these are the difference from the previously approved project). Then for the overrides themselves I've picked new patters, colors and weight for the cut lines. I've also overwritten the cut patterns - the new walls are solid grey and the demolished wall patterns hidden.
I know I can make a region with the proper grey shade and solve my problem, it's a fairly small project. But I want to find if there is a proper way to fix it, as we are doing some much bigger redesigns and I believe this will benefit our studio.
The normal approach is to have one plan that shows existing + demo and another that shows existing + new. The two views have two separate functions and can each do their jobs cleanly.
What you are attempting to do creates a conflict within Revit as it draws the two different walls at two different points in time. The reason for the conflict is that the new wall exists entirely within the wall that is to be demolished... both of these walls are solid entities so, when the cut plane slices through them it now has to determine which rule applies. In this case the larger wall wins because it completely envelops the smaller "new" wall(s).
There are a couple of things that could be done to work around this, but they are just that: hacks to work around the underlying problem of how you're trying to present the plan. (you could, for example, change the height of the wall being demolished so that it exists below the view's cut plane, then only one wall would be getting cut and it's pattern would be the only one that Revit would have to show... or you could create the wall to be demolished as two skinny walls that exist on either side of the new wall, although that would chain react into additional issues... or, as you mentioned you could fake it in with a region in the plan...)
But it really comes down to the fact that you're trying to go against the norm and Revit doesn't do well with things that are outside of the norm because it is programmed to work in a specific linear methodology.
Sorry,

Thank you for the detailed answer. I had the bad feeling that this will be the answer to my struggles. Our building norms and laws require that we show the existing, demolished and new all together on the same layout. Well, going around the problem it is then

can you post screenshot from your phase filters :
Sure.
The way we have to display things is:
- existing - no change
- demolished - some sort of dashed line. we do it in red so it's not confused with under/overhead stuff
- new - with solid grey hatch as background
