I'm curious how other companies show their walls in phasing.  The way we have it set up right now our existing masonry wall and existing stud walls have the same cut pattern in floor plan.  This isn't ideal because we need to know what the walls are.  I attached an image of what I would like the final outcome to be. Is there a way to achieve this?  How do others deal with this?

We only show existing walls halftone because we want to better see existing from new.

I know ... we don't show existing wall types in this way but do you really need them?  In most instances you don't.

So you don't do any type of Graphic Overrides in the Phasing other than Halftone?  I wouldn't mind the just having halftone that way it would still show the same wall type but that isn't the "companies standard" so I'm trying to see if there is a way to please them.  

I removed the Graphic Overrides and replaced it with just a halftone.  My stud wall looks fine but for some reason it is turning my masonry wall to have a cross hatch, any idea why?

You don't have your existing cut patterns hidden in your graphic overrides - set that.

For other folks reading this, hidden in this case is NOT linetype.

So you just have no fill (just white) and then halftone for your existing walls, is that what your saying?  I don't mind this but I we have an architect that would like to see a difference in Exist. CMU vs. Exist. Stud walls so I'm not sure how I can achieve this.

Yes, we have no fill and halftone for existing - no matter what construction type.

You don't have a lot of options here.  VG/Filters does not have any settings for phases and phases doesn't let you have settings for different wall types.   You could add a project parameter to all elements .... call it phaseII or whatever, then you could ignore the phase settings (no phase overrides) and use filters to do your work.

That's what I figured, doing the workaround I think would get pretty messy.  Thanks a lot!
