Are they under a previous Phase? Can you share a screenshot of the View and its properties palette?

Hi @Anonymous

 

As @ToanDN mentioned, select your wall and scroll down to your "Phasing" in your Properties Pallet, make sure that it is set to "New Construction".

 

Apart from that, you can go to your Visibility/Graphics Overrides and apply a cut pattern to your walls as shown below.

I hope this helps! Smiley Happy

hi @Anonymous,

 

Might be just in the properties of your wall.

If your view is in coarse detail , change the coarse scale display property in the family type properties:

see attached picture.

@Anonymous Hi

 

in not sure it's a phasing issue...that you will need to confirm so someone can guid u with phase filters

 

otherwise; considering the various types of walls on a layout (some filled and some not) when I want to use solid filled walls I would either

  1. use Course Scale Fill Pattern/Color (you can find that under type properties... select walls > edit type > Graphics )
  2. OR I would set up a Filter (by parameter)
  3. last choice and if it is global to the view I would override the visibility graphics of all walls (I rarely use this one)
