Everthing in halftone

Anonymous
Not applicable

 

All my building elements are in half-tone. I found all of it gray, try everything found on forum, like phasing, overrides, underlay ... One thread showed how to completely switch half-tone off, and when I do it, all is in normal colour.

 

However, that is not permanent solution as I cannot use halftone at all (for underlays, for instance), and I did not figure out why everything is in halftone currently.

Is the halftone in ALL Views? or just certain views?

Check View templates.

Try setting Phase Filter of views that show halftone to Show Complete.

Yes, it's in all views. I tried checks with phase filters, overrides. There
are no templates applied.

Are you working with a team--i.e. Worksets/Central File?

If so, does everyone else have ALL views in halftone? Or is it only on one PC?

I am learning, so, yes, that is local file, and, yes, all views are in
halftone. I cannot check any other user as I cannot create network, I
created local for learning purposes only.

Maybe this will help: annotation lines, tags etc. are in full tone, while everything else is in half-tone.

 

Is it workset-related, as this is beginner file with only two worksets, shared levels and grids and everything else.

 

What should I do? Workset1 is set as active, and that is the one with all elements, and all are greyed. Both existing worksets are editable, so I own them.

Possibly View "Disipline" is the culprit?

Check Display Model under the view's properties.

Change the view's discipline to Architecture or Coordination.

...hey! maybe it's a View Range issue.  Just kidding.  Smiley Wink

Mechanical Discipline automatically shows architectural elements as gray....bet if you created some mechanical ducts they would be regular lineweights.

 

Of course, the architectural model should be linked into a mechanical model in case there are updates.

Yep! Now it looks simple, but I am aware that it would take me ages to come to that. Thanks, people!
