Hatch Lineweight Heavier and Lighter?

[Anonymous]

For whatever reason, my foundations have a lighter (desired) lineweight hatch than other element's (walls) lineweight hatch.  What is going on here?  Is there a way to fix this?  See screen shot below.

Check surface pattern of the material used

Same exact material on all elements.  I even tried overriding the graphics on the surface pattern, but that heavy lineweight hatch won't go away.

What I am I looking at?  Plan view, section?  Are they both surface pattern or cut pattern?

[Thomas.S.Teichmann]

My quick guess: Plan view, wall cut, foundation projection in beyond line style

See About the View Range, especially "Elements Below the Bottom Clip Plane and Within the View Depth"

Somehow how they do not look the same ... one looks like cut the other looks like either overriden (either manually or by filter) or projection

Maybe you can attach the file?

It's an elevation view - The foundation wall is the darker concrete hatch, and the wall footing is showing as lighter concrete hatch.  The initially don't show any hatch as it's not a true 'cut'.  I used the pattern override in the visibility graphics so that they would show the hatch, and that's how they displayed.

I took out the override and am not using any hatch as I need to move on, just don't understand why they would show differently.

Since it is an Elevation View ... Check the Depth Cueing ... this will fade out Far Surfaces 

Also check the type of Pattern used (Model vs Drafting)...the former Fades out relative to view scale and surface

Thank you - I haven't used depth cueing yet, seems like a great tool.  Unfortunately, that didn't fix my problem.  The difference in these hatch patterns is definitely the lineweight, not depth cueing.

Unfortunately this isn't a project that I can share the file.  Thanks for everyone's help though.

I think there are three conditions that may cause this problem:

1. Different phase that the wall and foundation created in; 

2. Check the override setting in the V/G of the patterns not only pattern but also color;

3. If the two elements in the same model, or some in a linked model(or attached link model)?

And some other ways to follow, try to check different ways of overriding, of which priorities are different, override graphics in view by element>filters>V/G.

Since the originator of the other post was referred to this one, probably you should also be referred to the other post maybe you find something useful in it
