As a summary, I have a number of tree symbols that are on the same class, but different fills. In my viewport I want to show them simply all with no fill. I've followed the instructions above but had no luck. Can anyone help?
I've tried changing all the original trees to 'class style' in the fill (although not ideal as I still need them to show in different colours on other viewports), and I've tried different options in the class overrides, nothing seems to work. I've used a work-around for now by selecting elements in the tree symbol and using the detail level visibility options, but if I could get class overrides to work it would be a really useful tool! I thought it could be because they're symbols but I've tried other classes too and they don't work either- help!?

Hello!
I am attempting to override class settings in a viewport as per the instructions here:
http://app-help.vectorworks.net/2017/eng/VW2017_Guide/Viewports2/Changing_the_Class_Properties_of_Sheet_Layer_or_Design_Layer.htm#XREF_23286_Changing_the_Class
However it doesn't seem to work.

I'm currently using Vwx Landmark 2019 on mac.
Thanks!
