Hi,
As the title suggests I am hoping there is a way to achieve overrides (specifically halftone) of existing phased elements of linked models. I'm doing a heritage restoration/redevelopment project comprising of four linked models and would like attention to be drawn to new construction elements while also showcasing the heritage features of existing (elevations only).
I know how to achieve this effect in a normal situation of an individual model, however I am unable to follow the same process for linked models within a host model. I know that I can override the entire linked model in 'Visibility/Graphics' --> 'Revit Links' --> 'Halftone', although I would like the new construction of each linked model to remain in 'fulltone' so to speak.
I'm sure there would likely be a better practice to achieve the effect I am referring to, although my usual process in any given view is to --> Set the Phase Filter 'Show Complete' & Phase 'Existing' --> I then marquee the entire Existing elements --> right click mouse --> Override Graphics in View 'By Element' --> Check halftone box & click OK --> Change Phasing to Phase Filter 'Show Complete' & Phase 'New Construction', allowing the new elements to remain unaffected by the override.
Trying to Override Graphics of the linked model will only let me override 'Category' and not allow 'Element' overrides. So for example: when applying the override by category, the new stairs & existing stairs are unable to be filtered or differentiated by their phase.
I should also mention that I am predominantly using Revit LT although do have access to the full version. I realise my issue could also be due the certain limitations of LT. I have attached a screenshot of the model without halftone overrides and also an example of the desired effect from a previous project. Thanks in advance for any advice.
