Hi
Talking about elevations views and sections views. Why not an optional fill setting in the family and parts dialog in the "drawing symbology" section called "F&R fill color"?
It would be the same you have in the "Cut patterns" but for the forward an rear views. We think it would be very time saving and very useful. For example we can get elevations or sections views with free solid colors in the walls. We can't get in a very easy way demolition view and section plans or finishes plans.
We don't need to worry about the geometrical map/hatch define by default in for the rendering material. They update in a automatic way if you change the geometry (not as dimensions!!! sorry for the outburst). They can also save a lot of time in 2D "embellishment annoying process.
