I have a very complicated plan where I want to make all the wall light and trasparent accept for one.  I went into visabilty graphics and click the boxes to make the walls light and trasparent ... so that worked fine.  I cannot figure out to exclude the one wall I want to show in the normal way.  Is there a way to do that?

Select the wall, right click, override graphics, by element

Then you can make it look anyway you want.

Select the wall, right click, override graphics, by category (same as opening visabilty graphics) overrides "Select the wall, right click, override graphics, by element".  In this case that does not work, at least not that I can tell.  Let me know if I am missing something.

You are correct, you can not set the wall to solid after it has been set to transparent.  Instead, you can

1. Select all other walls and over-ride graphics in view setting them transparent.
2. place this one wall in a workset and control it separately.

Oh ... thats a good idea, I did not think of that.

Because it was a special wall I was able to use a filter to set all but that one wall type to half tone and transparent.
