  1. Got an 8-story apartment building over 2 basements. Will be 3 stories concrete with wood frame above. Critical that the columns align between the concrete levels... My preference is to move columns once, rather than on each floor.  Kind of wish there was a baked-in way to make multi-story elements like this... 

     

    Some options:

    1. Make a Column Design Layer and put them there, that layer stays on a lot. It has very high walls. Annoying if floor to floor heights change, which they will.
    2. Put column on Struct Column Classes, from FF to underside of slab above, make a symbol and plop the symbol on each floor layer? Probably less annoying.
    3. ??
  2. Thanks Pat - I'm assuming this is like trying to turn layers on/off on Referenced materials within viewports, in that it's a hard nope. But... the Reference is on a layer, and a class, and both are called out to be dashed line over-ride in Visualization. Nope. Everything in Grey in the viewport should be dashed.

     

    I'm guessing that the fact that it's currently on class XREF-Units is completely ignored in favor of whatever class the stuff is really on (in the other file). That's something I can understand, but it'd be a mighty nice over-ride checkbox.
