gregtvillage Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 If you turn all layers on, your wall cladding will not show, Seems backwards. How many knew? News to Me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey_martin Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Always been that way. Turning on the MAIN LAYER ONLY layer turns off the other layers that deal with the walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 If I use the All On Set , Walls, Main Layer Only is turned on but so is Walls, Normal..... I do not lose the siding unless I deselect Walls, Normal. So what am I doing different or not doing? did I Check Walls, Normal at some point? is that usually Off ? M.

Chrisb222 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 It's all in the settings. This program has a labyrinth of settings and sorting them all out, knowing how they interact, is quite the puzzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we're talking about 2 different things here: PLAN VIEW: Walls, Normal layer controls the display of the wall and all its framing. If that layer is not on, the wall will not show...at all. If that layer is on AND Walls, Main Layer Only is on, then just the main layers will display. If Walls, Layers is also on, then you will also see the various layer breaks (if you have multiple main layers); otherwise you will just see the wall outline. 3D VIEWS: None of those special layers have any affect. They are for Plan View display only. Turning Off Walls, Normal just turns the wall display off completely. If you happen to have wall framing that will still show as it is being controlled by the framing layers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Yes I assumed 3D after reading his other Thread on "Brick Hatching" but perhaps that was in Plan View too ? could well be I am way off based.... M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't that the truth.... how they all interact and in what Order is a growing problem with each new version. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 When you select the "All On" set, one of those layers is named "Main Layer Only" which by default turns off the layers except the "Main Layer", duh! So as an end user I am aware of this and act accordingly. The software is merely a mechanical aid construct, it is you who must provide the judgment and intelligence from moment to moment.

DJP Yes but only in Plan View as Michael explained above , I thought the OP was talking about a 3D view from his previous Thread on Brick layers missing, when I posted.
