anicholas Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Hello I'm not sure if this is user error or not. I am wanting to render out the framing with exterior sheeting, a render with house wrap, one with exterior insulation, etcetera. Then I could take the images into Photoshop and create something like the attached image to show my wall assembly. The fact that Chief shows this in the 3D library makes me wonder. Am I just not seeing how to do this? I went into the wall type definitions panel and moved the plywood layer to the Main Layers, but then it wants to "build Platform to Exterior of Layer" Plywood. I can't change it to the Fir Stud layer, yet I can change the Dimensions and Foundation to the Fir stud layer. That would change everything dimension wise, I could save as and go for it and delete the thing once done, but was curious if I just missed something. Thank you for any help.

rgardner Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Pretty sure that they used a standard framed wall with different wall material regions shaped and cutting the layers back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneDavis Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 How'd they do it on a roof plane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glennw Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 You can also do this by stacking single layer wall definitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anicholas Posted June 9, 2021 Author Share Posted June 9, 2021 Thank you all for the replies. I'm not sure how to do the option mentioned below. If it's easy to explain, would you mind sharing how to do that?

Solution rgardner Posted June 9, 2021 Solution Share Posted June 9, 2021 7 minutes ago, anicholas said: Thank you all for the replies. I'm not sure how to do the option mentioned below. If it's easy to explain, would you mind sharing how to do that? 1.) Wall Elevation 2.) Place and shape a wall material region (set to thickness that will get you to the right layer you want to see and set the material as "opening no material" and set it to cut the parent finish layer. 3.) Copy and paste in place and change shape and change settings Example If you have a 5.5" framing > 7/16" OSB Sheathing > 1/16" house wrap > 1/2" Siding wall then you would have a material region of no material 1" thick to show the framing, 9/16" thick to show osb sheathing, and 1/2" thick to show the house wrap.
