This question was asked a long time ago, but no one answered then...maybe I'll have better luck.  I'm trying to get my existing walls to poche and leave my new walls as lines/fill patterns for visual clarity. Trouble is, I can only seem to do the reverse (new = poche'd, existing = lines), and then only at coarse scale and not medium or fine. Am I missing something or does Revit just not work like this?

you can make your poche match your phasing by going into phasing/graphic overrides, then adjusting the materials and materials cut patterns for each phase. that's how we get our existing walls to show as a gray solid fill and our new walls to just be the face of wall lines. hope this helps! -annie

Is there something I'M missing? I'm trying to do the same thing (have new walls poche'd and existing walls as lines) and it's not showing up. I have my view phase set as "new construction" with "show previous + new". I went to settings/phases /graphic overrides/ New /materials / "phase-new" set up as solid fill - black. I don't understand, please help.

The "phase" materials only go into effect when the view is not set to that particular phase , ie in a new construction view, exsiting elemants are shown using the "phase-exist" material instead of the cut patterns for the component materials, and the new elements use the componenet materials. So in order to have poche'd new construction walls in a new construction view, you'll need to set the wall's componenet materials to a solid fill black or grey. Hope that made sense to you the way it did in my head.....

Hmmm. It just doesn't seem to make sense. So what your saying is that when my view is set to new construction, it's supposed to show the existing walls according to the phase/graphic override material? It doesn't want to do that at either course, medium, or fine scales. I really would like to avoid having to make separate wall types for existing walls and individually setting their "corse scale fill pattern". Please tell me I'm still missing something. Thanks for your help.

Ahhh. I figured it out. I knew there was something I was missing.... I needed to have the phase filter display settings set to "overridden" not "by category". Just a heads up for anyone else having this problem.

Without having changed any overrides or other settings, you must properly draw objects in the correct phase (new v existing) and then simply change the view's Detail Level setting to Medium or Fine instead of coarse. The poche will fill in immediately.
