Excluding Walls, floors, Roofs from framing

[Ed_Orum]

Once a floor plan, roof, windows, doors, etc is drawn, is there a way to exclude some of the walls and floors from framing when you build the framing?

 

Thanks in advance.

Lane, try defining a wall type with "Framing" unchecked in the wall type dbx.

Depending on what you are trying to do , you could delete ALL the Framing and then only Build the Framing in the  Walls, Roof Planes Rooms etc you want.

Try this.

Delete all the wall framing in one go by using Delete Objects.

Multi select the walls you don't want to frame.

Open the dbx and on the Structure panel, check Retain Wall Framing.

Use the Build Framing dbx to build all the wall framing.

Any walls marked Retain Wall Framing will not frame - because Chief remembers the state of this setting on a wall by wall basis.
