Wall Layer for exterior only walls?

[ACADuser]

I want to be able to show exterior walls only in some plan & 3D views.

Do I need the main wall layer only to be different or will there be other issues with all the other wall related layers?

Alan,

 

You'll have to deal with that in custom Layer Sets - both 3D View Layer Sets and Plan View Layer Sets.

Notice that the 3D Framing Overview uses a Layer Set that doesn't display any Exterior or Interior Walls.  You might want to study what Layers are not displayed in that compared to the Full 3D Camera.

If you put the interior walls on a unique layer...such as "Wallls, Normal - INTERIOR" you can turn them off or on as needed.  Or...do the same with the exterior walls...just put them on a unique layer that you can control.  In the attached "perspective floor overview" pictures...you see the standard view and then the view after I have turned off the interior wall layer, doors, windows and moldings. Not the greatest view...leaves holes in the floor and wall surfaces.  

 

Just an idea...good luck.

Thanks, fellas.

I see that My new layer Walls Normal Exterior works in 3D view.

You pay a penalty by losing windows & door which is ok in my case.

I'm see railing wall & attic walls also need to be changed. Hopefully, attic walls will not get me into trouble.

 

Out of time here but will continue later tonight.
