Larry_Sweeney Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I have a model that has different size floor joist in different areas. If I want the bottom of the exterior walls to show in exterior views to all line up with the lowest wall how best should this be accomplished? Using p-solids I think is most logical or is there a better way? I would like not to pull the whole wall down, but just show in cross sections the sheeting and siding lowered.

Kbird1 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Can you post a Pic Larry ? I don't think I quite understand what you are trying to do..... Michael has a method for removing different layers in the Tips Forum I think it is , by making what is called a Wall Layer Cutting Tool , I'll see if I can find the Thread. @Alaskan_Son Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry_Sweeney Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 Mick...............First picture is what I started with Second and third picture is what I did with p-solids. I was just wondering if there was better faster solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Place an air gap in your floor layer definition and it will bring that wall down to cover. Same situation as a seasonal structure on piers that has the floor sitting on beams that you want to cover.

Ok I think I get it now........... the floors are the same heights but different thicknesses...... and you want the siding all the way down..... I have not tried it but I think CS's method of adding an AirGap/Opening-No Material to the bottom of the Floor Structure should work as CA is hard-coded to drop the siding to the bottom of the Floor Platform.

Larry_Sweeney Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 Chopsaw..............I will try that. Sounds good to me. Mick.................I did use the Windows Snipping Tool. Maybe adding them "into" the thread instead of just leaving them as attachments is what caused them to be so small. Chopsaw & Mick..............Thank you both for your time and knowledge. Have a great day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the Plus button to add them to the Post where I want them too, but I haven't seen the Snipping Tool make such small pics before , unless you are using a small monitor/screen? as I think the snipping tool captures at true screen size..... which I guess is why mine are big (32" screen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
