Hatch overrides by phase and/or parameters

[Anonymous]

Hello! I was looking for a way to override wall hachs to accomplish some needs, but i cant find it. This is my problem: any wall in my project can have 5 different cut patterns, defined by phase and a condition (if it was builded with or without permission)

If its existing and permitted, i want to fill it sith solid black;

If its in any phase of construction , its filled it with solid red;

If existing but not permitted, its filled with a net pattern;

If not existing and not permitted, its filled with a line pattern;

and if its going to be demolished, its filled with solid yellow.

So i have a minimum of three phases (overriding hatch display for walls in existing and demolish phases, so the rest of phases and possible new ones stays OK) and im thinking about creating a yes/no parameter and apply it to "walls", but i dont know how to continue from that...

My idea is to have only one type of wall and change the phase and condition to change how it displays, and avoid duplicating walls just to change their patterns (i was doing that). Is there a easy way to do that? Or anyone can point me in the right way?

I started in revit this week so there will be a lot of things im missing. 

Thanks!

You're going to need to create 5 filters for each desired condition.

View>>Filters

Create the new filter, associate it to walls, then to the condition you are looking for.

The More Parameters option that I have highlighted will take you to Project Parameters that you may select from.

Then you create a View template to apply the filter to your view - or add it to the existing View Template if existing.

Finally, click in the highlighted boxes to set up the graphic overrides for the filter

I think you can make it work with 2 phases: existing and new; and one yes/no filter: permitted.

Im playing with this and will report if works! Thanks!

I guess it can say "documented"or "approved" instead of "existing"... Those are walls raised without a professional plan and approval of government's cadastre, so they are someway illegal; my work is to document them so they become "legal", we have to mark them with a 45 degree line pattern.

with Existing but not permitted i mean those built ilegally, but legalized in a previous plan, and are marked with a 45 degree net pattern.

Existing and permitted are those already built legally, and get a black solid hatch.

If they are in any other phase, is because they are going to be constructed after getting approval, and they get a red solid hatch.

Sorry, i didnt explain that well the first time

See attached.  Two phases + two filters.

The 1st and 4th are by Phase Graphic Overrides

The 2nd and 3rd are by View Filter Overrides

The last is by Coarse scale fill pattern

Im new at this.. What is that attached file? And how do i use it? 

[ToanDN]

I embed an image and attached a Revit file.  Open the Revit file to see the settings.

[Anonymous]

I managed to do that! 😄 Thank you very much!

I have another doubt... It is possible to configure a view to not apply phase filters?

is it possible to make this work on stacked walls? I only managed to get phase filters working there, but wall parameters dont show on stacked walls and if i select component by component, parameters are showed but locked...

For stacked walls you need to create filters by Selection.  Or, break them up as individual walls.

[Anonymous]

Soooo easy!! I was picking just one wall, thats why i didnt get the selection set options... Thanks! 

One last! Can phase filters be turned off for a specific view?

[ToanDN]

Of course.  If you add the Filters in a Template then don't use the same template, or don't use the template at all for those views.  Am I understanding you correctly?
