When you create a 2D or 3D elevation object from building objects, the material assignments of the source objects are
applied to the elevation. You do not assign a material directly to a 2D/3D elevation. The elevation takes its material
assignments from the objects. For example, if you create an elevation of a wall with a window, the surface hatches you
have defined in the glass, wood, and brick materials of the wall and the window are displayed in the elevation object.
If you do not want to use the material display properties, but instead use those of the 2D or 3D elevation object or the
2D elevation style, you can deactivate the material assignments in the display properties of the elevation or the elevation
style.
Material definitions consist of display components that correspond to component types of objects. For example, the
Linework component of a material is used for all linework of objects in Plan view. The Surface Hatch component of a
material is used to hatch all object surfaces in 3D model views and elevations.
For a complete list of material components and their description, see “
Material Components and Display Properties
”
on page 510.
The following table lists elevation components plus information about the material components that determine them.
NOTE An elevation is technically the same object as a section, and has the same display components as a section. The following
topics describe the display components most relevant to elevations. For a complete list of all section and elevation components,

Surface Hatch Linework in Elevations
The Surface Hatch Linework component draws all linework coming from surface hatches of the objects in the elevation.
This component is specific to 2D elevations.
NOTE Surface hatches you have assigned to objects display in a 3D elevation object. However, you cannot set them separately
in a 3D elevation; you can do that only in a 2D elevation object.
