I'm working on a renovation project.
In this project we're using both existing and new construction phases. the plan view Phase is "new construction", Phase Filter: "Show New + Existing".
We have both masonry and concrete walls, each with their proper cut pattern. However, our company standards use different cut patterns for new vs existing, based on material:
new concrete= solid gray
existing concrete= concrete pattern
new masonry= diagonal crosshatch
existing masonry= diagonal up
so my "new" walls' materials show up great.
Using Phasing, Graphic Overrides tab, I understand how to control the cut pattern for "existing" elements - either with no override, or doing one entire override (which then shows allll cut items with the same overridden cut pattern)
My question is: How can I show the existing cut patterns not only based on the material, but also with a different cut pattern than the cut patterns of the same wall type when it's "new". I'd really prefer not to have to make separate wall types for new vs existing if it can be avoided. Is this something that can be done with additional filters?
In case im not making sense - I want my new concrete walls to show up with a gray cut pattern, but then when they are moved to "existing" phase, I want the pattern to automatically change to "concrete". at the same time, I want my new CMU walls to have a diagonal crosshatch cut pattern, but when they are moved to the "existing" phase, I want the pattern to change to "diagonal up"...
Can this be done?
Thanks for the help!
