Evolution Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 The client wanted to use a horizontal bead board for the main wall finish. I finally convinced them it wasn't a good idea for this particular home. They decided just to show gyp board everywhere and we could add special finishes (tile etc) as needed so I edited the defaults for ext/int walls for gyp board, saved the changes and closed the plan. Upon reopening the plan, I noted all the walls are still showing as the horizontal bead board so I checked to see if the program had saved my changes, and it had indeed; however reopening the full camera elevation view still shows bead board. I selected individual walls and opened the dbx's to see what was spec'd for the wall materials and gyp board is selected; however reopening the full camera elevation and it still shows the horizontal bead board!?!? what am I missing?

dshall Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I bet you have either painted the walls or applied a finish to the walls...... but just guessing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlackore Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Did you use the Material Painter (spray can) to apply the beadboard texture to the exterior walls? If so, any changes you make in the Wall Specification dbx won't matter until you set the wall's Exterior Wall Surface to Use Default. You have to do this for every wall you've painted: If you painted EVERY wall, simply select the exterior room and change the material in the Room Specification dbx.

Solution Evolution Posted December 4, 2014 Author Solution Share Posted December 4, 2014 I don't remember using the paint roller, as I usually set all my plan defaults (edits) @ the start of a new plan. Anyway, Robert; I attempted what you suggested and as you can see (after a dozen or more attempts) the interior wall finish finally changed to gyp board, however; you can also see that some of the BB remains in the eve, as well as the mull between the door and fixed glass and it all looks kind of squirrely?!? So, I don't know how to fix those issues? So the battle continues, and I need to get the schematic ready for their review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I would have made a new wall with the bead board on it instead of painting it. I never paint walls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evolution Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Perry, unless I had a lapse of memory, I did not paint the walls, I edited the plan defaults as you will see in the clips. I originally set the interior side as gyp board. sent them a couple screen shots and they asked what the wall finish inside was to which I said byp board. They said show us what it would look like with BB run horizontally, so I went back into edit default and changed to the HBB, then screen shot it back to them, and after we talked and they listened I went back into edit defaults back to gyp board. I defined the wall in default edits because they sent me a wall detail (he is a contractor) of how HE wanted the exterior wall built up by layer!

HumbleChief Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Am I really going to be the first person to suggest you post the plan? Just sayin'. Also Bob those upper walls with the BB are attic walls. You can delete them and they'll rebuild. Not sure about the BB next to the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chief58 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 maybe could be the walls are just reversed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evolution Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 maybe could be the walls are just reversed Already looked at that. I did make sure to draw clockwise, but checked anyway. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlackore Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 See attached. I think something was corrupt - but not sure what. Everything seemed set up properly. When I drew new interior walls, they all had beadboard, even though the defaults and wall type specified drywall. So on a lark I used the spray can to paint the drywall on one of the walls, and after a rebuild everything was fine.

HumbleChief Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I could not figure out the problem. I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed but this stuff makes me nuts. I drew a couple interior walls through the exterior walls and they remained drywall until they crossed the exterior walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumbleChief Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Look in the 'Room Specification' dbx - change to drywall - fixed. Do it for each room. Don't know where that came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one place it didn't occur to me to look, though considering my first response to the post, it should have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumbleChief Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I've NEVER used that dbx to set wall finishes and took a long time to even find it. Learn something every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
