nick66 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 In X5 I'd use Invisible walls to form the porches. That feature isn't available in X6, so any tips on drawing porches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawdzira Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 The invisible wall is now called the Room Divider Wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Room Divider wall is just another wall type with the invisible property checked. Nick, Invisible walls are still available - shouldn't be a problem.

lbuttery Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Glenn: I first reported the inconsistencies during the public beta for X6 (see BAD section #07) http://www.chieftalk.com/showthread.php?65281-X6-Good-Bad-Ugly-and-Suggestions&highlight=ROOM+DIVIDER DBX attachments coming soon Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy1 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 In all previous versions (prior to X6), all invisible walls are actually a wall type of Interior 4 made invisible by default. So, if you want an invisible wall like the previous versions, place an interior 4 wall and make it invisible. In X6, they have the room divider instead of an "invisible wall" type already made. If you use the room divider, it has no thickness, but if you change the structure one side of the room that has a room divider, then that room divider gets the same definition on the old invisible wall which is actually an interior 4 wall invisible. BTW, for doing porches, I prefer to use a railing wall (wall type). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbuttery Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Glenn: It appears my study of the new "room divider" feature back in Dec during Beta was hasty possibly because I was whipping thru all the new features and creating the 'GOOD-BAD-UGLY" thread and was moving too fast I could swear that I found some of the dbx's for walls that had both "room divider" and "invisible" ??? maybe CA removed "invisible" as a wall type from some of the DBX's before X6 went live ??? anyways, the room divider wall type replaced the invisible wall type in X6 and "invisible" became a property that can be assigned to any wall type - including room dividers this is done on the wall spec. dbx on the general tab thus, all of the dbx's that list wall types only list room divider - invisible is a property of walls - not a type (anymore) the layer display options dbx lists "walls, invisible" but not "room divider" which also caused "confusion" in my hasty study back in Dec closer study of the LDO layers for walls shows that most of the layers are divided by properties of a wall such as "invisible" or "attic" or "no locate" two of the wall layers are for wall types: "walls normal" and "walls foundation" seeing "invisible" there and not "room divider" didn't make sense in Dec - now it does Room Dividers are invisible by default Room Dividers are placed on the “Walls, Invisible” layer by default A wall placed on a non-default layer and then specified as Invisible, however, will not move to the “Walls, Invisible” layer this I still find confusing ??? if the invisible property is set then it should be on the "walls, Invisible" layer Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbuttery Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 if you change the structure one side of the room that has a room divider, then that room divider gets the same definition on the old invisible wall which is actually an interior 4 wall invisible Tommy: thanks for the clarification - I wasn't aware of this "transformation" not sure I like it ???

Gawdzira Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 What the room divider now does very well is to allow you to have a division of spaces without an ugly break in the flooring material. All hail the room divider. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 The Room divider wall turns into a regular thickness invisible wall if it needs to frame anything above or below. It's automatic. if you are just using it to define a room then it stays thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just saying that I have already mentioned that in other words trying to explain about the old invisible wall and the new room divider.

dshall Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 No I'm not. That's ridiculous. I was just saying that I have already mentioned that in other words trying to explain about the old invisible wall and the new room divider. I find that some things can never be repeated too often. Sometimes what is written in the first post does not register until it is stated again in a second post. In fact what you said Tommy did not register with me, even after I reread it. Perry's post registered with me me. So I say it again, some things need to be repeated a second time using different verbiage until it registers. GO COWBOYS!!!

glennw Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 anyways, the room divider wall type replaced the invisible wall type in X6 and "invisible" became a property that can be assigned to any wall type - including room dividers this is done on the wall spec. dbx on the general tab Lew Lew, "Invisible" has been a wall property as far back as I can remember.

nick66 Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 If you draw a wall & or walls, you can multi select the walls. Then click the open icon on the bottom left, there's an option to change the wall to invisible. Found it by accident. Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
