each wall style. However, in certain instances, you may need to override a display property for an individual wall to
achieve a specific result. All the display properties that you can specify in wall styles are available for individual walls:
■
Whether the display properties of wall components are determined by material assignments
■
The layer, color, and linetype of the display components of the wall
■
The hatching used with each component
■
The cut plane height and the display of components relative to the cut plane
■
Other specific wall display information, such as whether complex endcaps are displayed and whether the wall is
cut around door and window frames
When you change the display properties of an individual wall, the changes apply only to that wall. Other walls of the
same style are not affected. To change the display properties of all walls of a specific wall style, see “
Wall Styles ” on
page 722.
Specifying the Layer, Color, and Linetype of a Wall
Use this procedure to change the following display properties of the components of an individual wall:
■
Visibility (component is on or off)
■
By material (a material assigned to the display component determines its display properties)
■
Layer
■
Color
■
Linetype
■
Lineweight
■
Linetype scale
To change these display properties for all walls of the same wall style, see “ Specifying the Display Properties of a Wall
Style ” on page 733.
NOTE If a material assignment determines the properties of a wall display component, you can change the properties of the
display component by clearing By Material or by overriding the material assignment with a different material. For more
information, see
“ Specifying the Materials of Individual Walls ” on page 682 .
