Subcategories are great for fine-tuning object graphics. Through the Object Styles window we can set the SubCategory graphic settings to be different from the Category's. However, options to override Subcategory Graphics per View (Template) are limited to Lines settings. Surface Patterns and Transparency are excluded.
We understand some Categories have reduced options for Visibility/Graphics (non-cuttable Categories obviously don't offer Cut style overrides), but please open up the SubCategory settings to the extent of the main Category settings.
Example: why can I override the Surface Pattern for the Door Category as a whole, but not for just the 'Door Panel' Subcategory?
When our designers complain about Revit's clunky modeling engine, I point to its documentation powers. But for that argument to hold, limitations like this one need to be lifted. Thanks much!
