In most cases, you want the appearance of walls that belong to the same style to be consistent throughout a drawing. To achieve this, you specify the material assigned to each wall component, or you specify the display properties for each wall style. However, in certain instances, you may need to override a display property for an individual wall to achieve a specific result. All the display properties that you can specify in wall styles are available for individual walls:
- Whether the display properties of wall components are determined by material assignments
- The layer, color, and linetype of the display components of the wall
- The hatching used with each component
- The cut plane height and the display of components relative to the cut plane
- Other specific wall display information, such as whether complex endcaps are displayed and whether the wall is cut around door and window frames
When you change the display properties of an individual wall, the changes apply only to that wall. Other walls of the same style are not affected.
