Wall Cut Pat. overides Column Cut Pat.?

[nnguyen]

I have a graphical question. For some reason when my conc. blk. wall touches my concrete column, the wall pattern overrides my column pattern. I tried disallow join, but that doesn't work. I thought it was a little glitch with Revit that once i closed out of the project and re-opened it, that it would go away. I want to be able to see the concrete column cut pattern. any suggestions?

i have attached two images to show what I am talking about. the 1st one is what Revit is currently showing. the 2nd is what I would like Revit to show. (but with the wall touching the column).

I'm not sure of the actual answer but I know one way to work around it is to use a filled region with the concrete pattern applied over the top of the column. It will get the job done at least for now until I can figure out how to solve the problem correctly.

I was hoping to avoid that because that situation occurrs more than i like to count. but yeah, i thought of that as a last resort. but thanks for the suggestion and the continued effort to find a solution!

Hmm...what happens when you use the "disjoin" tool and click on the column and then the wall?

come back with good news...

Use Structural columns!
Columns from the modeling tool bar will take on the properties of any intersecting geometry.

Are you using a column from the modelling tab then this is a problem that it merges with the intersecting object, try using the column from the structural tab choosing the required material (concrete )etc.
