Show: Elements of this Status will be shown using the fills/colors/line types as set in their Settings dialog box.

Hide: Elements of this Status will not be shown at all.

Override: Elements of this Status will be shown, using the Override Style defined in the Renovation Override Styles dialog box.

Add Additional Overrides to the Renovation Filter

Additional Override options are available for “Existing” elements, for “To be Demolished” elements, and for Annotation Elements.

These extra options help you meet local standards or make your Renovation views easier to interpret.

Check the box of any of the Additional Overrides you wish to add to your Renovation Filter definitions:

For “Existing” Elements:

Hide Opening Dimension Marker (if you don’t need to see dimensions of openings already in place)

Solid Cut Fill (if you don’t need to see the structure of walls already in place)

Do not Intersect (use this to ensure that intersections among New or Demolished walls do not interfere with existing wall intersections)

For “To Be Demolished” Elements:

Hide Opening Dimension Marker (if you don’t need to see dimensions of openings that will soon no longer exist)

Hide Door/Window/Skylight (if you don’t need to see openings that will soon no longer exist, especially if they are part of walls to be demolished anyway)

Hide Zone (if you don’t want to see information for zones that will be eliminated)

Hide Objects (since most furnishings will not really be demolished; and they don’t need to be visible on the Demolition Plan)

Solid Cut Fill (if you don’t need to see the structure of walls that will be demolished)

Transparent Fill (to indicate the place of a demolished element with just lines, no fill)

Do not Intersect (to ensure that intersections among New or Demolished walls do not interfere with existing wall intersections)

Mark Openings with “X” Symbol: Place an X on Doors and Windows to be demolished.

For Annotation Elements:

Do not Override Dimensions/Texts/Labels

Do not Override Drafting Fills/Lines

Use these checkboxes to exclude Annotation Elements - Dimensions, Texts and Labels, and/or Drafting Fills and Lines - from the filter settings.

For example, this way you can make sure your labels and texts continue to be shown normally (as in the image on the right), even on a Demolition Plan:
