I have a couple of questions about basic configuration of the Detail Component Manager.
There are a fue things which people want to change, globally which would make things more usefull for them. I am concerned that these are not such simple changes.
I thought that I would ask in this forum and see if anyone had tips in that regard...
1) Changes to hatches on certain material types. Using CMU for instance, my guys would like to see CMU sections showing a Line hatch rather than a cross hatch. They want to have it slightly smaller than the same hatch for brick. Is there a spot where you can change all of one material type from one section representation to another. This is similar to Walls, where materials can be assigned.
2) Given that we have 7 layers to work with in details, is it possible to change components from one layer, say Medium, to Thick. I have seen the layer key adjustment, but that is going to mean doing every component in the database, and that seems to be alot of work.
Thankyou in Advance.
