DRAWZILLA Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 It's a wall, use the back clipped cross section and do not locate through the wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a setting for the gray color fill that you know about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumbleChief Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 So does everyone just live with it? Is there a way to turn off the color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 You could select the wall and make it invisible but that would likely mess up one or more of your other live views. Maybe a unique layer for just that one wall. You can assign a material of "opening- no material" to the wall but the gray will not go away. Would a Cad detail work ok for that situation Larry?

HumbleChief Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 Yeah there's a couple of options but it's strange one can't control that fill - from somewhere - don'cha think? Do you just send the colors to Layout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Not sure what your wall definition is but I just leave mine set to Drywall and it usually makes sense. The gray is a little confusing but most people associate builders beige with drywall even if they hate it. I was working with a rafter detail the other day and I thought it was strange that I required a different layerset for plan view, std view, and vector view, just for one rafter. Nothing worked for every situation and it was a simple everyday framing detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumbleChief Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 There's more gray fill at the top of the detail too. I've just been living with and was curious if other are doing so as well, or if I am missing something simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwideziner Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Can you shorten the back-clipped length to get rid of it. I agree that the grey is a bit confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Yes I noticed that as well and it seems inconsistent and more confusing than the interior wall. Is it roof sheeting or an attic wall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only you will know unless you care to share the plan. Is that a hip roof or a endwall truss with a screwed up attic wall in the background? Or possibly just a bad cut as Graeme was pointing out.

It is the lowest material in the Roof Surface and it only shows in the higher part of the hip roof plane because that is where the back clipping finishes - the back clip camera doesn't display anything beyond the back clipping, so you only see the top part of the hip roof.

Look at layout, all is well, now......... move re that view to the next layout page...... how would you do it? 1. Cut the view off the page and paste it on previous page? 2. Or would you open the window DBX from layout and change the page it is on via DBX? you will find that if you cut and paste the view, the fills/colors will come back on .....,, but ........ if you open the DBX of the layout window and change the page it is on, the fills/colors will not come on.

joey_martin Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Break the cross section line and move that half of it 4" so that it doesn't cut through the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
