from the objects sectioned. For example if you create a section through a wall with a window, the section hatch you
have defined in the glass, wood, and brick materials of the wall and the window are displayed in the section.
If you do not want to use the material display properties, but instead use those of the 2D or 3D section object, or the
2D section style, you can deactivate the material assignments in the display properties of the section or the section
style.
Material Component Assignments
Material definitions consist of display components which 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
on page 510.
The following table lists all section components plus information about the material components that determine them.
NOTE Keep in mind that materials are not assigned directly to 2D section objects, but that the assignment of materials
happens indirectly via the sectioned objects. For example, if a brick material has a surface hatch component with a red brick
pattern, this surface hatch determines the display of the surface hatch in a brick wall. When you create a 2D section from that
wall, the resulting section object will inherit the red brick pattern from the wall. When you change the material of the wall
from brick to concrete, and then update the 2D section, it will now display with a grey concrete pattern.
