You use the Visibility/Graphic Overrides dialog box to modify the line styles for an object category in a structural model view by changing the graphic display properties of the category. When you modify line style, you can change the weight, color, and pattern of lines. You can change default line styles for all views of the structural model by using the Line Styles dialog box, which you can access from the Settings drop-down on the Project Settings panel of the Manage tab. You can also change line styles that are applied to objects in all views by using the Object Styles dialog box.
Procedure: Modifying Line Styles in a View
The following steps describe how to modify line styles.
1. Click View tab > Graphics panel > Visibility/Graphics.
2. In the Visibility/Graphic Overrides dialog box, Model Categories tab, under Projection/Surface, Lines, click Override for a model object category.
3. In the Line Graphics dialog box, click the Color tab.
4. In the Color dialog box, select a color for the line.
5. Select a pattern for the line from the Pattern list.
Using Filters
You use filters to override the graphic display and visibility of objects based on specific criteria and common properties of elements in a view. After creating the filter, you apply it to a plan view.
Visibility by Filter
You use filters to have an effect on objects that fulfill the filter criteria. You can define filter criteria or you can select individual objects to include in the filter. You can create a filter, add categories to it, and set a filter by rule. This allows you to control the objects that are visible and specify how these objects will appear in a particular view. For example, you can change the display of all the joists by assigning them to a filter and overriding the visibility graphics of the view to display them in halftone red.
