Hi,
I am looking for some advice on controlling the graphics of a linked structural model in Revit.
I have a structural model linked into my architectural model, the only element of the linked model that I want to show on my drawing is the structural column. I want the column to appear a light grey and to override the walls in my architectural model.
Currently I have attempted to control the graphic of the column by customising the display settings and adjusting the "structural column" model category via the Revit Links tab under the visibility graphics. I have changed the cut pattern here to what I want and also the thickness of the cut lines. The pattern appears correctly but the thickness of the line was not overridden but I then changed this globally in the main model through the object styles. They only issue that I have now is that the cut pattern shows my model running through it.
In effect I want this pattern to be non transparent so that it hides the wall below. See the attached images.
I could of course break the wall so that it is modelled correctly and not runnng through the column but I have multiple floors that I would need to update in order for this to work


Any help on this issue would be much appreciated.
Thanks a lot
