Distinguish existing structure in remodel

I use both methods .... Rich where is the Hatch Wall Spec. DBX ? maybe only in newer versions ? don't see it in Pro 10... no tool in 10 you just click on the broken section and it auto hatches and you lose all colour that section goes black and white.

Hey Mick, here are the steps I use in HDP'14.
If your version has it you just need to select the
auto-hatched portion of the wall and hit the open
object icon. Be sure to tab through the different
selections until you get the "Wall Hatching"
selected. On an exterior wall for example your
first selection is the "Wall" - the second selection
is "Roof Plane Baseline" - then the third selection
is the "Wall Hatching".
