@Pat Stanford,
Thank your response. I've had some more time/need to try and figure this out and I am still not able to. I've changed all the parameters inside the curtain wall (panels, frames, wall attributes, insertion options) to 'object class' and 'attributes by class' and it seems to work when I change the class visibilities in the design layer. However still doesn't override when using viewport overrides.
Would you have a file where it is working so I can take a look at what I am missing here?
Thanks,
Reyes
