Select the wall and in the DBX,

- Go to the 'Wall Types" tab.

- Click on 'Define'

- In the wall layers box, scroll down to 'Interior Layers' and delete the drywall

 

You also need to be sure you build the wall framing (Build/Framing/Build Framing)

In the 'Build Framing' DBX, go to the 'Wall' tab and click on 'Build Wall Framing. then click OK

Framing should now be visible in 3D.

I'm designing an unfinished basement with just the 2x4 walls framed in - no cover material nor drywall.  How can you do that so in the 3D view you can see the unfished 2x4 walls?  I'm using CA x13. 

 

 

The technique would vary slightly depending on the type of view. Are you wanting to show them in a cross section view for con docs or in a 3d view, just to visualize?

and Choose Frame 3 1/2 or 5 1/2 instead , and as suggested build Framing and turn on Wall framing in 3D views.
