I can’t modify Revit Visibility/Graphics!

You want to override your view visibility/graphics, but when you open the dialog box you see all options are greyed. You can’t modify them.

The reason why you can’t modify them is because you use a view template for that view. In newer Revit version, view template is persistent and it will not allow you to modify visibility/graphics.

If you want to modify the visibility, you can:

1. Modify the view template. Remember that this will also change all views’ appearance that are using the same view template.
2. Change your view template to <none> from properties palette. After you did that, you can modify the appearance using visibility/graphics overrides.
