Furniture Family Not Applying Colour to Pattern

[ashdon.mcfallVT2XN]

Hi there,

Im trying to change all our furniture to have a red crosshatch patter, going into 'V/G Overides - Model Catagories - Furniture and changing the Projection pattern works for all furniture except one particular meeting room chair which, the pattern applies but the colour remains black (dispite me selecting a red overide) However if i change the 'Lines' override to a solid lineype and a red colour it changes the pattern to red, but the outline also changes. See screenshots

Anyone help?

this is the family problem! I think they use the line to make the pattern.

The family is using detail components with symbolic lines to achieve the curvature effect at the edges of the chair.

• To retain this effect:

  1. Edit the family.
  2. Create or use a new subcategory under Furniture.
  3. Select all the infill lines and assign them to the new subcategory.
  4. Reload the family into the project and override the line styles of the new subcategory.
     • This approach keeps the contour lines unchanged while making the infill lines appear in red.
  5.  

• If you prefer a plain surface pattern instead:

  1. Edit the family.
  2. Delete the 2D components and any masking regions.
  3. Use the surface pattern of the 3D object.
     • PS: Make sure the visibility settings for the 3D object allow it to appear in Plan, Reflected Ceiling Plan (RCP), and all detail levels (Coarse, Medium, Fine).
