Use Feature Name Override

When I attempt to show cut/fill construction limits in plan view, I only see the separate feature definitions for cut/fill if I'm NOT using Use Feature Name Override, with gaps in between where it is transitioning.  If I DO use Feature Name Override, the complete complex element takes on its own feature definition, not designating where I have cut or fill.  I would like for the program to hold the cut symbology for cut and the fill symbology for fill for quick analyzation in plan view and still remain one feature by the override name.  Is this not possible?

I am in CONNECT 2020 Release 1 Update 8 - Version 10.08.00.88

  • The purpose of Feature Name Override is to allow you to generate a single continuous feature even though the templates my have used display rules or variable end conditions.

    So if you had multiple Cut tie in points and multiple fill tie in points, you can get a single cut feature and a single fill feature. But if you combine them all into a single daylight feature, then you also only get a single feature definition and symbology for that feature.
