Yes, that is correct.
We initially set up the drawings with a referenced model to allow for multiple people to work on different portions of the drawings as well as to keep the model at a manageable file size.
I'm still using the fix that I spoke about in the previous post and was able to change the class settings of the model reference in the elevation drawing so that my concrete walls are now pink in elevation and it's not currently a problem in the plans as the model is currently composed of hybrid symbols with both elevation and section classes for the different parts. There is still the problem in section for the reason you mentioned but may just have to live with it. We discussed making the section cuts in the original model but the section cuts do increase the file size quite a bit.
Also, I wondered if anyone could comment further on the stories feature of VW2012. It seems that to be true BIM in plan you need to cut each portion of the 3D model into floors which works quite nicely for the interior walls or a typical platform framed wood wall because they are actually composed this way. However, in my particular instance, the exterior concrete wall is actually multiple stories high and a solid piece. Thus, if I stay true to how I understand the story method, and I cut my exterior concrete wall 3D piece up into floors, there will be lines in section and elevation at the floor lines even though in reality they do not exist. The argument I suppose being that they are normally covered up by the FF elevation line in the working drawings, and if not, they can be rendered in a different way other than shaded polygon to hide the lines.
Thanks!
