jonow6 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Is there a way to change the line colour/shade of wall patterns in a view, say from black to grey?.. I find that in any type of elevation or 3D view the line weight and colour can busy and distracting. Would be nice to be able to lighten up the colour/shade of the patterns for walls or roofs.

jonow6 Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 Thanks Eric, I will try that method. It seems a bit time consuming to go through and make the change to individual materials. I'm assuming there is no way to override wall patterns globally in a project? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey_martin Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 You can override globally when you send to layout. Check the box for PATTERN line weight and color. When you use that method, you loose the ability to control line weights from you layer/anno set, but it will accomplish what you are looking for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried this when sending to layout, but makes all line colour and weights the same and only gives me the option when sending elevations. Would like the wall pattern to be lighter and less pronounced than the wall outlines. Forgive me for mentioning Revit, but this is a simple feature it has to help keep drawings clean and not too busy (see attached). Would like to try and find a relatively straightforward way to do the same in Chief if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice to be able to do the same with some of the other techniques, but that definitely helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey_martin Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Are you up on Anno Set and how how they work with the layer sets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
