  1. I worked it out! You were both instrumental in finding ways to go about it. Thanks guys I ended up using the floor blocking from the shipping container library and then copied it as the ceiling blocking and put the sandwich panel walls in between. I created the entire shell (inner and outer) in one wall type structure, then broke it down into separate inner and outer types just for the wall cavity areas. The only issue I have left is one internal wall plasterboard wants to attach itself to the external layer. Odd thing is: it's an exact replica of the opposite side which behaves correctly. I'm not going to lose sleep over a single white line tho! I'm chuffed I got where I needed to go. I removed my other posts since I'm all sorted now. Thanks again!
  2. Here's a completely new wall type for the inner shell, with the specified 450mm stud spacing: All wall settings to meet the steel frame layer: It still extends the plasterboard below the frame by default:
  3. I'm drawing a set of office containers as per my structural engineer's specifications. I need all wall layers to start and end with the framing. I have only created 2 wall types so there's nothing to send really. Just trying to set up wall types from scratch to create the final required Floor Plan + elevations for council submission. Outer shell is 75mm sandwich panel (non-structural): 1.3 mm sheet steel + 72.4 mineral wool + 1.3 mm sheet steel Inner shell spec by engineers (structural): 50mm C-Section studs + Plasterboard Inner room dividers spec by engineers (structural): Plasterboard + 75mm C-Section studs + Plasterboard I understand you might suggest I build it all as a single wall type, however I need to separate them in order to accommodate the wall cavities in the ensuite & bathroom (for wall hang toilet + inwall cistern etc). Flooring is 8mm cement fibre sheeting (not OSB) laid over the usual shipping container floor blocking, although there are some additional structural members my engineers have included. Since the structural plans are done, I'm not too worried how the program interprets the framing etc. I just need the architectural plans to reflect the correct elevations & room usage.
  4. Hi, new to x16 here. I'm having trouble working out why my new interior wall types insist on extending the interior plasterboard below the wall framing. It causes the plasterboard to poke through the floor and then defaults the structural flooring material back to OSB (my design uses a specific brand backerboard). Thanks in advance
