Using the WSWH Simpson Strong Wall Symbol

[WildcatFury]

I am using this Simpson WSW Strong Wall Symbol for a project and I am trying to figure out how to get the symbol to show up in a wall detail and framing schedule. I have checked the layer display and added the symbol to the schedule. The blank area between the overhead doors is the Simpson Strong Wall, inserted into the wall. Also note T16 of the schedule.

Hello Eric,

The plan file is larger than CT will allow. Any suggestions?

Insert the CAD detail into the wall detail. A separate 3d object will not show up in a wall deatil.

Open the 3d symbol and set it's schedule category to framing.

Wall Plan.zipDoes this work?

You could use an elevation camera. This example uses the 3d framing layer set with framing labels turned on.

Feeling nice...these are filled with my macros but you could conform it

Looks like this:

Thanks Everyone. Robert I am making the elevation camera work but still struggling with the Framing Schedule. I was able to include the Strong wall fixture into the schedule but some of the attributes are not showing up. (i.e. Name, Length, Material)

Can you post the current file with the schedule you are using?

You won't be able to get the attributes for a symbol to show up in the same columns as framing attributes. I would use a 2nd schedule just for the WSW, either for the whole plan or on a wall-by-wall basis.

Please see plan file attached. Please use Wall Detail 18.

You can add the height to the label. There's plenty of room in that column. It wouldn't bother me to leave the columns that don't apply as blank.

%automatic_label% (%height%H)

%automatic_label% (%width%w x %depth%d x %height%H)

Ok Thanks

Now that I have my shear wall panels in place and was able to work through the wall elevations showing the same. How do I get rid of them in the elevation view below? My wall types are set up for the red metal to be an exterior layer but the shear wall panel is showing through and when I turn off the display layer for the shear wall panel there is just a void behind. Wall Plan is attached.

Edit the symbol to not insert into the wall or the Wall Cutout Polyline.

Working with this, but when I remove the wall insert then it changes the framing. Was able to do a temporary change of this, create the view I wanted, then change back. Thanks for your help.
