Joe_Carrick Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 How do you get SIPs to show in a 3D Framing Overview? They are structural elements but since they don't have a framing material they don't show. What trick do you use to show them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 That depends on how you have defined your SIP's. If they are part of the wall or roof definition I think you are in trouble. I sent in a feature request for pony walls a while back but nothing yet. Just fooling around with a test plan it might be possible to take what chief can do and manually edit a bit to make it look correct. Maybe post a test plan file so others can have a go.

Joe_Carrick Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 For my SIP Walls, I've defined them as "Framed" with 2x6 Studs @ 100' OC.I also specify a single top plate. This seems to work fairly well for the walls but I wish there was some way to have the Foam Insulation show and to have a maximum panel width with 2x_ splines (panel joints) I do have a way of labeling the SIP Walls using a custom macro. The Roof SIP's are another problem entirely. I'm thinking the best solution is a 3D Symbol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 You might have some luck with the walls by taking an existing framing member and copying it and editing the material properties and then multi copy to fill in what you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
