When creating the wall components of wall styles, and when setting the component's Fill Style to use the Class Style, I really wish that the component's color would automatically also default to "Class Style" when the class it's being assigned to has anything but a solid fill assigned to it (such as a hatch). Otherwise, trying to override the component's fill in a viewport - say to replace a hatch with a solid color - only results in the solid fill being applied, but not the desired color, because the component's color is still its default white color (i.e., while the hatch can be made to go away, the color white can't be changed).
The hard-learned workaround is to remember to change the component's Fill Color to "Color by Class" before setting it's Fill Color to "Class Style." The challenge going forward will be remembering this workaround... ... ... Please make Vectorworks more intuitive!!! VWIS131
