REF SET QUESTION

[SNestor]

I'm trying to create a REF SET layerset to use with my 2nd floor architectural floor plan.  What I want is to have all lower level walls appear as dashed lines...if there is no floor above the wall.

 

- I know I could put some of the walls on different layers...and then turn on only the walls that were on the specific layer.  But...is there a better or simpler way to accomplish this?  Maybe I should just use CAD lines?  

 

- I thought if I "filled" the rooms with solid white color it would hide the walls below...but that doesn't seem to work either.

You are on the right track.  Use the fill and then make sure you are using DRAWING REF SET FIRST.  

 

The only issue is the walls below will show at openings.

Thanks Scott...that did it.  The trick is "DRAW REFERENCE FLOOR FIRST"

Questions regarding REF SETS and PLAN VIEWS;

 

- Do any of you create PLAN VIEW SETS for 1/8" scale drawings...possibly an electrical plan view...or maybe a view set for a home owner showing furniture placement?

- Are any of you creating a separate "View Set" that just shows "ceiling framing"...either on the first or 2nd floors?  I would think you'd want to keep this separate from "roof framing views".

 

- How do you handle "roof framing" views when you have framing on two (or multiple) levels?  Say...a one story garage and and two story main house?  (see attached pic).  Do you just use a unique "Reference Set" to refer to the framing on the hidden floor?
