Walls Layers

[Flinki]

Hello. Is there any way to make some of the walls sometimes visible, sometimes not? I am under renovation and I want to make some compartmentalization, but I don't know which variant is the best way to do it. So I want to make various variants of positioning some walls, and make them visible or invisible, and in the same time to not affect the structure of existing walls in my project. (I am new in chief architect; I think in terms of Photoshop, where I can ad layers over layers and make visible or invisible any of them without affecting the other layers which are positioned under or over the layer I made visible/invisible).

put them on different layers and then create different layersets. Although it is not quite that simple as CA will connect walls that are close together. If is just for 2d view, you can also use the room planner tools or just boxes, or lines

Thank you for reply. I've tried to make walls on different layers, but as you mentioned, Chief Architect connect the walls, so no matter if I disable a layer, the walls are still visible. I find kind of hard to handle the layer sets. I would like to see the results both 2d & 3d, but 2d will do. I will try to use the room planner tools.

You can't really have an existing wall and a new wall occupying the same space in the same plan without them having problems. 

 

There are a bunch of different ways to handle this better though.  The existing walls could be in a different plan and then displayed using reference display or they could be converted into a symbol or they could be converted into cad or even a picture though.
