Lighthouse Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I have finished basement walls that I have made by creating a wall that has 10" concrete for the main layer, and fir framing and drywall for the interior layers. In camera views, when I have checked "main layer only", and unchecked "wall layers", the interior layers (the 2x4 wall) still appears. Is it possible to get only the concrete portion to appear? Or do I have to create two separate walls (which I don't want to do because there are a lot of window openings) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joey_martin Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Tip from me...for what it's worth...don't do finished basements like that. Leave the concrete stem walls as just that, the foundation wall, and add interior walls (I take the drywall off one side) as normal walls. This will allow you to complete the foundation plan and the finished basement floor plan as separate pages with their own set of notes and dims. I use a FOUNDATION PLAN anno/layer set, and my basic FLOOR PLAN anno/layer set to achieve this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you select furred wall the windows always frame through properly for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted August 3, 2020 Author Share Posted August 3, 2020 Ok, I just tried that in a test plan and the window did frame through both walls, so I guess that is the solution, THANKS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted August 3, 2020 Author Share Posted August 3, 2020 I'm still a little perplexed/annoyed the Chief is showing the interior layers when it's not supposed to, but I will add that to my long list of workarounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I design/model just like we build. I don't expect the concrete guys to deal with multiple "wall layers". Build the model just like it's built in the field and you have a lot less headaches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I just played with this a little. As you say, it does work just fine without selecting 'furred' wall in Structure. There is a slight difference in how things work though. If you select 'furred' then you can only place the window into the concrete outer wall, whereas if you don't select furred, it snaps to either wall (but the end result is not the same), if you place it in the framed wall things get wonky with trim. Also, you get different results with what happens to the window when you delete the inner or outer wall.
