Material Override View Specific

Anonymous
Not applicable

I am trying to show the wall stud hatch as grey in plan and white in section views. Here is the challenge, I can easily set up a view template override for my sections that changes the wall hatch to white. The problem is, I still want to be able to see the plywood and gyp hatches.

 

The template overrides don't allow a material override just wall overrides. 

 

I also checked under the material. I can change the cut pattern and the surface pattern but that isn't plan or section specific. 

 

Any ideas on a material override that is view specific?

One possibility is to use Parts, which allows you to control each individual component/layer of a compound wall, in any view, such as Plan or Section.

 

Take a look here:

It is a bit complex, and must be well understood by all team members before implementing--but I think you can achieve what you are after using Parts.
