DRAWZILLA Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Check wall material both sides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlackore Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Check wall material both sides Wall material is both sides - standard view shows up fine - just vector that doesn't give pattern lines on interior side. Here's a plan of just the wall:Curved Wall.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kMoquin Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Robert, I was able to get the block to show on the interior by adding a 0 thickness layer to the wall type with the block material. A funny thing happened when I did so - the wall appeared to jump in the +Z direction. (see where highlighted selection is in the image) If you try this, let me know if that happens to you as well.

I tried your method - it worked except that I had to have a non-zero layer on the inside. The new wall also did the +Z direction jump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I checked with the rainbow tool your materials, and you don't seem to have the, "S:\Chief Architect\BDS Catalog\Materials\Textures\Masonry Block 8x16 Stretcher Diffuse.png" material available for that wall. anotherwards ,No texture.

No, I have the texture - it's custom, the path you queried is a network path. It's included in the zip file of the plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dshall Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Robert, I am confirming your statement. CMU wall, OOB, interior pattern not showing up on curved walls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rlackore Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 I'll send this off to tech support. Thanks to everyone for looking at the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I tried this in X7 on my own Plan. Chief's default 8" CMU Wall Type was missing the pattern on the Interior Face. I added a zero thickness Layer with that material and everything is good. Both in the dbx and in the 3D Views. Standard and Vector Views show the material on both sides of the wall. Am I doing something different than everyone else - other than using my own Plan vs Robert's Plan ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshall Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 ...... I added a zero thickness Layer with that material and everything is good. ..... Thanks for that JC, but we should not have to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Thanks for that JC, but we should not have to do that. No Argument. It would appear to be a problem with Chief's Wall Type definition.... or the way the program is reading those definitions. Does it happen with any other single thickness wall types? To answer my own question...Yes, it happens with the Glass Block Wall Type as well. I suspect that this is true for all single thickness Wall Types. There needs to be an Interior Face material within the "Main Layers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AriseDesign Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Thanks for that JC, but we should not have to do that. There are TONS of things in Chief were "WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DO THAT" >> Seems like I have to learn 2 software programs, Chief and Workarounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There needs to be an Interior Face material within the "Main Layers. I agree, after experimenting it appears that it's an issue with curved walls that have only a main layer. As soon as I assign a second layer - to the interior OR the exterior of the single main layer, I get the correct pattern on the interior face.
