Anyone know how to use phasing/or custom Psets to set the CSS material/pattern, for example to set all the EXISTING walls as grey?
Phasing status doesn't seem to work yet:
https://community.osarch.org/discussion/comment/11810/#Comment_11810
SO I have been using Custom Psets to exclude things which has been good, but now I want to change the pattern using the Pset,
any ideas?
Similar to the discussion here where @globalcitizen used CSS to define this project as red = DEMO,
I know a lot has changed since then
I've attached an example file with walls of different phases/statuses

Hi Ace, I think you can create your own CCS template to assign paterns/colours to elements. Ill find the relvant file oath if thats what your after?

@Ace see my latest answer in that thread, it's also described on the wiki ( but it would be great to add a working example, I still haven't gotten to do this)

Hey @ChubbyQuark and @JanF
Thanks for the answers!
So I've established you can use your own CSS file by allocating it in the camera:
SVG output with custom lines/hatches:
I got the original CSS to edit from the file path you've both mentioned:
C:\Users\'YOUR USERNAME'\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\3.2\scripts\addons\blenderbim\bim\data\styles
The CSS file you've created needs to be in the same folder as where the IFC is located to work
I've attached the IFC and the custom Css file (which is saved as a .log because it didnt accept .css for some reason)
In the IFC I have given the wall a "demo" custom Pset. What I want to know is how to apply a CSS to everything tagged with that custom pset, if anyone has more indepth knowledge

I'm assuming it's the add drawing style attribute field in camera settings, but i can't get it to work

This is the convo I meant to reference, whoops, where @globalcitizen has used CSS to mark everything as Demo

Anyone know how to control draw order for the Fill and annotation elements? I was mistakenly under the impression it had to do with distance to camera

Can you simply create two cameras in different heights and put them together on a layout?

Anyone know how to exclude an IFcAnnotation element from a drawing?
I'm trying to do some site plans and locality plans and the symbol is as big as the building hahahah
Excluding this from the camera
.IfcAnnotation[Name = "NORTH_ELEVATION"]
doesn't seem to work

Ive not managed this on individual elements but have used groups as a way of controlling visibility previously. Not sure if that is best practice. There is the 'presentation layers' ui but not sure if this is fully functioing yet?

@ChubbyQuark could you provide a example of the groups effecting visibility? I'm not quite sure how to do it

Anyone know if it's possible to give an IfcAnnotation an opaque background? So it's legible against a hatch of background elements?

You can assign and remove objects to the camera object . Clunky but seems to work.

@ChubbyQuark Brilliant! Clunky gets the job done!

Hey @ChubbyQuark thanks for this! It works but seems to reload the annotation element when you reactivate the drawing, do you know how to have it preserve the choice?

Can you share your IFC file, here? Helps to troubleshoot your problem.

Is there a way of reducing the unwanted lines from an SVG prior to it being generated with BlenderBIM? I have attached a bracket IFC that seems to have extra 2D lines added in the SVG:

@Bedson unfortunately i don't know a way, if you want to keep it a vector drawing.. here's a couple ways, if you're okay with a raster drawing:

Thanks @theoryshaw your video nicely shows the settings to play with.
