graphics in elevation and section are different

I'm doing a simple addition and renovation to an existing house. In the existing house, I'm only replacing new windows & doors in the existing R.O.'s. I've only placed one instance of the windows & doors and have them as New Construction, and the walls are Existing. I did not want to place one instance of the windows and doors as Existing Demo'd and then a second instance of the same as New Construction. 

 

In the attached  screen shot, the left view is an elevation view is an elevation and the right view is a section view of the front of an existing house. I want the elevation views to look like the section views. The view template for each view uses the exact same phase filter. The only way I can make the graphics look as desired is to modify wall profile and cut a hole around each window & door. PIA work around. 

 

Are the other graphic setting that I'm missing? Are there built-in graphics settings for elevation and section views that causes graphics of the same view to appear different?

And to your comment re: recommended workflows, what's wrong with placing a new window in an existing wall? The walls are existing, not demo'd. The windows are new. What's the recommended workflow for this scenario? 


If you replace existing windows then demolish existing windows and place new windows in the same place.

I did not do that. I tried it for one window to see what would happen, but it's pointless. I'm only placing new windows in an existing wall

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! 

 

I knew there had to be something I was missing. I always forget to check filters. 

 

Thank you again for your time, expertise, and willingness to help me. Greatly appreciated.

Demo transparency topic has come up before, and it was suggested/requested to add it to phase graphic overrides instead of having to create a filter.
