Cadwork22 Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 When framing the walls, I tried default them as steel stud, but when it ran its course, it created a large quantity of CAD blocks (studs) material each is of fir material. Is there a select all option so I can modify the studs in a single setting. Also are studs visible in 3d? Thanks in Advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadwork22 Posted June 20 Author Share Posted June 20 Also, for a steel structure what's a good wall definition (wall layers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution GeneDavis Posted June 20 Solution Share Posted June 20 Draw a test building in a new file. Four walls with the out-of-box Siding-6 woodframed walls. Frame it and look at the 3D framing view. It'll be studs. Go into Defaults > Framing > Exterior Wall, it should be Siding-6. Edit it so the framing layer is changed to steel, and the material down below is changed from lumber to steel C. Click OK to change the default. Your 3D view, if you had things set to autoframe, is now changed to steel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
