Existing Walls Shaded

The earliest post I could find was from 2006.....14 years later Revit still can't do shaded walls while keeping the materials visible like pictured?

what do you mean? We do it all the time. I think we did it 14 years ago too.

Please share your solution.  I've read through forums for an hour and haven't found one solution to the problem.  It will only shade a solid color and hides the wall makeup materials in doing so.

It'll do this all day long.

What are the View Control bar settings for the image in your original post?

Have you got any View Templates set?

Have you applied any graphics overrides?

 

I'm sure we can get to the bottom of this for you, but will need some more info

Kind regards,
Ian

Looks like the default template Phase override.

Is the phase of the element the same as the view's phase?

The original posted picture was a grayed transparent region drawn over the walls.  It is way to time consuming and difficult to basically hatch over every existing wall.

No view templates.

No graphic overrides.

But something interesting, your questioning made me try override graphics....if you pick the wall, right click, override graphics and change the cut patterns to a gray solid fill it keeps the lines in the wall.  But if I do the same through phases it completely grays the wall out.

If it can do it one way, why can't it do it the other. smh

Is this what you're after?

Phase Graphics Wall Hatch.PNG

 

Manage > Phasing > Existing Cut Pattern Foreground No Override (Both Colour & Pattern), then change the background colour to be whatever you want.

 

Then DELETE the material from the existing phase. Be warned that you may need to adjust other settings to compensate for the loss of the material override in elevation/section/plan for other elements.

 

Apply these changes.

 

Change your view Phase Filter to "Show Previous + New".

Yes!! that is exactly what I'm after, I already have my phase filter to previous+new and the materials cleared out but my Phasing doesn't have the background foreground option.  I'm using 2018, is that the 2020 version of Revit?

LMAO @Anonymous!  

 

@Lachlan-JWP: You have amazing mind-reading abilities to be able to correctly guess Phasing Fill Pattern Graphic Overrides from this: "The earliest post I could find was from 2006.....14 years later Revit still can't do shaded walls while keeping the materials visible like pictured?"  You could do a Vegas Act with these abilities!  I'd pay to see you.

@Anonymous unfortunately the foreground/background feature was introduced in either 2019 or 2020. I would recommend upgrading if possible.

If you are locked in to Revit 2018, and your previous post where you used graphic overrides created a reasonable compromise I would recommend the following:

 

Project parameters > Add

New project parameter.PNG

I created mine as a shared parameter long ago, yours can be a project parameter if that's what you're used to.

It needs to be an instance Yes/No parameter and I like to add it to the Phasing group. You need only apply it to the walls category if you want, but I apply it to everything just in case I need to filter something else in the future.

 

Open a view with the existing phase active > Select all elements > Tick the Existing parameter that you just created.

 

Go to your view that requires the wall override. Open either the view template or use VV to open the visibility graphics override window. Create a new filter that applies to walls (and any other categories that you'd like to appear with the same override). The filter rules will reference the project parameter that we created earlier. Use this filter to create the graphic override effect you want without losing the lines in the middle.

This filter is now part of your project and can be applied to any other views that you want. Much better than using the filled region with the only downside being the loss of the material hatch.

I spoke with our consultants yesterday about upgrading to 2020 and everyone is onboard so that solves my problem now that Revit 2020 can do what I want.

But I went in to Revit 2018 and followed your directions using filters and posted a pic below.  It works, I could live with no hatch as long as the lines are there.

Thank you very much for your help and sharing your knowledge.
