Hi,
I am drawing a floor paving/stone layout for a cathedral (don't ask me why it's in Revit...that's the subject of another debate!) and have drawn the pattern using split faces, in order to show different colours (as different materials) in 3d views. Before I did this, I needed to produce 2d drawings with different hatch patterns for the different stones (as filled regions).
I would now like to consolidate this as the two are not coordinated. It strikes me that I should be able to use filters to show different materials, in a 'hidden line' (rather than shaded) view, as different hatch patterns.
Is this possible?
I'm already pretty frustrated with how un-flexible split faces are (for instance, the fact that it is IMPOSSIBLE to turn them off without hiding the whole floor element or individually 'invisible line-ing' each line), and only used them because this was the only way I could find to have different colours on a floor layout in a 3d (perspective) view. Correct me if I'm wrong...
