Update Exceptions
There are a number of cases in which a 2D section or elevation cannot be
updated with the global update.
â–  The drawing containing the 2D section or elevation is read-only.
â–  The 2D section or elevation is placed on a locked layer.
â–  There have been user edits to a 2D section or elevation that could not be
reapplied to the 2D section or elevation.
When a 2D section or elevation cannot be updated, an error message is
displayed in the status window.
To fix the problem, you can set the drawing to read/write instead of read-only,
you can unlock the section layer, or you can undo a specific user edit to a 2D
section or elevation.
2D Section Styles
A 2D section/elevation style is a group of properties assigned to a 2D section
or to an elevation that determines the appearance and other characteristics
of that object.
Using 2D Section Styles
A 2D section/elevation style controls the linework in a section, using design
rules that determine how different parts of the section are displayed. You can
apply the style to one or more sections to control their appearance. You can
also change the display of individual lines in the section, and save the changes
in a 2D section/elevation style.
Display Components and Design Rules
Display components determine the graphical characteristics, such as color
and linetype, of linework assigned to each display component. Design rules
determine how the linework in a section is assigned to display components.
When you create a design rule, you specify the part of the 2D section to control
based on the color of those objects in the building model and their context
in the section. You then select the display component to use for linework that
meets the criteria you specified. You can assign the linework to a default
display component or to a custom display component that you have added
to the style. For example, you might define a rule that assigns all objects that
