Hello:

We have a project that has many elevation views with graphic overrides applied. We'd like to remove these overrides and use filters instead. Is there any way to automate this process?

The only method I'm aware of is to go view by view, select the instances in the view, then execute "Override Graphics in View > By Element > Reset".

View Templates are the best solution.

Get one of the Views setup just how you need it, then Create View Template from View.

Then apply the view template to other views.

Filters are a very good way to control visibility, and can be applied in View Templates.

I don't think there's an automatic way to change the overrides to a Filter?

cheers

Thanks for your response.

We've deployed view templates extensively in this project. I'm looking for a way to automate the removal of graphic overrides to elements in views.

There is a clear need for project management tools of this type.
