Use this dialog to create and edit rules.
To open it, do one of the following:
•Document > Graphic Overrides > Graphic Override Rules
•in Graphic Override Combinations dialog box: click Manage Rules
•in Renovation Filter Options dialog box: click Graphic Override Rules
Rules are listed on the left side of the dialog box. Colorful icons indicate the Line Type, Fill Type, Foreground and Background Pens, and the Surface (if any) defined for each rule.
The first three rules correspond to the three Renovation Statuses: Existing, To be Demolished, and New.
Select any rule to see its Criteria and Override Style panels on the right.
1.Click New
–from the bottom of the Graphic Override Rules dialog box
–from the Graphic Override Combinations dialog
2.From the appearing dialog, choose New or Duplicate, and give the rule a name.
Note: The rules for the three Renovation Statuses cannot be duplicated.
3.Use the panels on the right side of the dialog to define rule’s Criteria and Override Style.
These criteria define which elements should get the override.
Note: Criteria for the three Renovation Statuses cannot be edited. (Renovation Status is assigned to model elements individually.)
1.In the Criteria list, the first line is always Element Type. (Sub-elements, such as Curtain Wall Panel or Morph face, are not available here.)
2.Select this first line, then click the black arrow at the end of the row to choose the element type(s) to which this rule should apply.
3.To define additional criteria, click the Add... button to bring up a list of Parameters & Properties.
4.Select one or more parameters (use the search field at the top to find it more quickly), then click Add (or press Enter) to add them to the list.
5.Define additional criteria. The list of available criteria depends on the element(s) defined in the row(s) above.
Note: This interface is similar to that of the Find and Select dialog box, but IFC Properties are not available here.
See Define Additional Criteria: Parameters & Properties.
Note: Defining a “Layer” or “Layer Combination” as a criterion means that the override affects elements that are visible in the given Layer Combination.
Override Style defines what the override should look like.
