Mat Caird Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Hi All I am getting frustrated with Viewport Class Overrides. I have roofs and roof faces. They are all on class Roof-Main, which is set to 'use at creation'. All the roofs and roof faces have attributes set to 'use by class' (class style) etc. In my floor plan viewport I set the roof-main class to override so that only an outline of the roof will show. I do this by class override, so that Roof-Main has a dashed line and no fill. But only one of the roof faces accepts the class override correctly. The funny thing is, the override is partially working. If I change the color of the lines using calss overrides, then that works on all the roofs. The dashes only show on the one roof face, which also correctly displays the fill or hatch that I set in the class override. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance. Mat Quote Link to comment
Dieter @ DWorks Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Check the object if they use that attributes by class. It's not because of the option 'use at creation' is turned on that the object uses the attributes of the class. Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 In other words: go to the Design Layer in which the offending object(s) reside, select the object(s), use the little pulldown at the bottom of the attributes palette to "Make All Attributes By Class". Now go back to the VP, select it and update.... Let us know if this works... Quote Link to comment

brudgers Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I have one for each of the attibutes, but not one for "make all attributes by class." There are two at the bottom of my attributes pallet...one for each of the arrowheads. Quote Link to comment
Ray Libby Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 What version are you using? It would help it you would put it in your signature. Quote Link to comment
brudgers Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 (edited) It's in my signature: VW(build)83388 [2008 sp3]. I went to the build number because 2008 sp2 had multiple builds. BTW, the OP is on 12.5 ...and I don't have the arrow. Edited March 25, 2009 by brudgers Quote Link to comment
Ray Libby Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Must be new to VW2009. Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Yes, it is. But you can force the same effect manually, by: Select Object(s), then going to each field in the Attributes Palette and changing it to "By Class" (or is it "Use Class"?)... Quote Link to comment
brudgers Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 In my opinion, it's sometimes easier to just set them once and use the eyedropper. Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Yes, that should also work ;-) Quote Link to comment
