Hello all,
I've come across an issue with Clearance Zones showing up "filled" for any equipment with the phase settings set to Existing for Phase Created and None for Phase Demolished.
For instances where the Phase Created is New Construction and Phase Demolished is None, the Clearance Zones I have created show correctly as created within each respective family.
Please see snipit below as a reference. Any help or suggestions to "override" the gray "filled" clearance would be appreciated. For those familiar with the out of box electrical equipment, the equipment with the gray "filled" area is a Disconnect Switch with a second disconnect switch on the same wall, but with different Phase Created settings. The object on the other wall is an ATS.
Regards, Andruw

The first thing to examine would be the phase filter graphic overrides, particularly materials and patterns?
Are you able to create a phase filter override if the Clearance Zone lines are associated by different phases of the equipment?
Normally a 3D clearance box in a family is assigned a transparent material. when you set it as existing the Existing phase filter overrides take over and make it solid.
in the Phasing > Graphic Override's tab, remove the Material assignment.

@iainsavage the lines used were detail lines and not extrusions
@hmunsell I did not know this was a possibility, let me give this a go and will respond back soon
not a problem.... the first thing i do when i make a new template/model is clear those material settings in the Phasing.

@iainsavage My apologies for not giving you credit where it was due. Yes - you had explained that, but I was unsure, at the time, where to navigate that or know what the window looked like. Thank you as well and I did not mean any disrespect!
It isn’t about credit, I’m not interested in that, it was about the extra time and effort taken to get you the same answer and help to fix your model. Anyway, you’re sorted now and keep on posting if you have any more trouble.
I appreciate you taking the extra time/effort in assisting. Thank you again
