Ross101 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) Hi All I'm getting back into using CA after an absence, and having trouble with what is probably a simple problem.... I'm using X8 for this plan. The exterior walls are reverse brick veneer (timber framing and cladding on the outside, brick wall on the inside). The interior walls are timber framed. Where an interior wall meets an exterior wall, I want the timber frame to stop at the interior face of the brick. What is displaying is as per the pictures. The timber frame wall goes through the brick wall to meet the external timber frame. I've got a feeling its an easy fix, but just can't find it!! Many thanks Ross PS Pictures and test plan attached .

Chopsaw Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Ross, Not sure if there is an auto setting that will fix that but you should not have any trouble pulling the framing layer back with the "Edit Wall Layer Intersections" tool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 You might also find the Reverse Layers button useful. It will be displayed when the wall is selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Remember to always draw your walls in a clockwise direction. I don't this is effected by the Coriolis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Just to avoid confusion, this is the "Reverse Layers" tool but I don't think it will be necessary for this problem as you clearly stated that the brick is supposed to be on the inside as illustrated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Thanks Chopsaw., that is the correct icon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross101 Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 Griffin, Chopsaw, thanks for the replies. Griffin, the Reverse Layers button isn't what I'm after for this job as it puts the brick on the outside (i.e., conventional rick veneer, not reverse BV). Chopsaw, that worked... thanks, I didn't know about that icon or what it can do. It looks right in 3D as well so this is a good solution. I thought it was something to do with setting the "main layer" in some way.... but couldn't see anything there. Thanks again Ross 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 You are quite welcome and I hope that tool becomes quite useful for you as it allows independent control of all layers and wall intersections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Ross, If you make both the brick wall layer and the timber wall layer the main layers (in the Wall Type Definition dbx), you should get what you are after. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross101 Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 Glenn.. I thought it was a main layer issue but wasn't familiar with the new dbx display and how to change the items in it. Thanks Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
