Thanks Robert, That did the trick.

How can I fix this warning when opening a layout file? When I open one layout file two layout files open. I am not sure what CAD detail I may have copied or used. Below is the error. I tried uploading the layout file but it came back as an error to upload.

Working with this, but when I remove the wall insert then it changes the framing. Was able to do a temporary change of this, create the view I wanted, then change back. Thanks for your help.

Now that I have my shear wall panels in place and was able to work through the wall elevations showing the same. How do I get rid of them in the elevation view below? My wall types are set up for the red metal to be an exterior layer but the shear wall panel is showing through and when I turn off the display layer for the shear wall panel there is just a void behind. Wall Plan is attached. Wall Plan.zip

Ok Thanks

Please see plan file attached. Please use Wall Detail 18. Wall Plan.zip

Thanks Everyone. Robert I am making the elevation camera work but still struggling with the Framing Schedule. I was able to include the Strong wall fixture into the schedule but some of the attributes are not showing up. (i.e. Name, Length, Material)

Wall Plan.zipDoes this work?

Hello Eric, The plan file is larger than CT will allow. Any suggestions?

I am using this Simpson WSW Strong Wall Symbol for a project and I am trying to figure out how to get the symbol to show up in a wall detail and framing schedule. I have checked the layer display and added the symbol to the schedule. The blank area between the overhead doors is the Simpson Strong Wall, inserted into the wall. Also note T16 of the schedule.

Hello, I know this is an old post but I am using this Simpson Strong Wall for a project and I am trying to figure out how to get the symbol to show up in a wall detail and framing schedule.

For some reason I am struggling with a basic item. I have a Dimension Set drawing sent to the layout (construction) drawings. I want to add another dimension page for exterior dimensions only, so I set up another dimension set called "Dimension Set - Exterior" by copying the Dimension Set and renaming. When I send that drawing to the layout and I make a change to it, it changes the Dimension Set also. What am I doing wrong?

Ok Thanks for the feedback. I see how the dimension represents the RO and not the opening in the wall.

The screen shots below show the window opening in the plan view with a point to point dimension, The other shots reflect my data entry in the window specification dialog.

The openings (gaps) are showing in the walls but the opening size does not reflect the actual rough opening size. Example: I have a window in the wall that actual sizes (from window manufacturer) are 37 5/8" x 56 7/8". In the framing specification I have called out for 2" rough opening on all sides. I also marked the "Add for Concrete Cutout" 2" each side and checked show in plan, but plan is only showing a gap in the wall at 37 3/4" as where it should be 41 5/8".
