One thing I do all the time is simply copy an existing framing member in the wall detail and use that for whatever I need. It becomes part of that wall.

A general framing member created in a wall detail is part of that wall's framing and certainly will move with the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you copy a Wall Stud as Michael suggested and rotate it 90° you can then get the U+C-Channel to work as Wall Blocking in 3D too. ( no idea why ) , and depending on the rotation the U will be up or down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palmetto.pdf Isn't it essentially a double wall with two layers of 3 5/8 Framing? .....and an AirGap in between..... not 100% sure I am "seeing" your detail correctly ? M.

ACADuser Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 Mick, Perhaps it could be done. This is the more complex wall section. Not sure how you would manage the separation of the lower pony wall & the upper pony wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Yeah, with Walls stacked like that it would be tricky, you could try a few (4?) "fake" floors set to Open Below perhaps to get all the different Wall Heights ( and thicknesses) and the Parapet at the Top, not sure Pony Walls would help but possibly a combo of them and extra fake floors would work....

ACADuser Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 I think the complexities are not worth the benefits. So p-solids for visual and CAD for actual details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Haven't worked out all the complexities and it may not be worth it for you, having seen some of your Plans in the past but it looks like my idea may work.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACADuser Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 Mick, I sent you the plan file so you can see what is going on inside the building as well. Don't feel obligated to spend your time on this. Just an FYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACADuser Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 Working on another project and used pony walls to make all the different walls. I don't think I will do it again. It is very difficult adjusting all the different wall thicknesses and managing wall returns. Psolids are much simpler and now that you can adjust in camera views which is great. The only issue I've seen is the adjustment in camera can change the psolid into a shape & that will change the objects layer to the default layer.

RickyP Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I see your pain. I thought X12 would make this easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
