Walls Removed In Camera View

[JenniZ]

I am remodeling a bathroom and removing walls.  I have created a wall "to be removed" so I can turn on and off the layer between my construction plan and new plan.  Everything works well until I do a camera view.  In the camera view the walls aren't showing but you can see in the floor and ceiling where the walls were.  How do I correct this?

Thanks!

Which version are you using?

[teresa]

You can also turn on and off the layers in the camera view.  Did you try that?

Did you change the wall type to "demoliton"? they show that way in 3d

[JenniZ]

I am using X7 and yes I did try turning on and off layers in the camera view but it is still showing. 

Would love to be able to remedy this so I don't have to create another file.  Anyone else having any luck?

Post the plan.  Oh, and be good neighbor and add your hardware config to the forum signature.  (lets us know whether or not any issue may be hardware related before playing twenty questions)

Here you go.

Make the walls invisible then change the line properties if you want them to show in plan.

 

BTW almost all the Chief users will create 2 plans for 'As Built' plan and 'Proposed' or 'New' plans when doing a remodel. It's really hard to get demo plans to play with new const. without 2 sets of plans.

The wall type for those two walls is demolition-4. That will always look the way you describe.

[JenniZ]

Thanks Larry very helpful.  I could have sworn that I played around with the invisible wall a few times but didn't have any luck.  I can also see why people create two sets of plans when doing this.

Thanks again for your time to look into this!!  Have a great day.

If you use invisible walls for that , you should make them "No Def" It will just keep the kitchen 1 room instead of 2.

OK. Is there a way to restore the hatching of the demolition wall in plan after it has been made invisible?

[DRAWZILLA]

you can use the wall hatch tool or just create a new wall that has the hatching built in

[MickeyToo]

Perry, as you know, the Demolition Walls have hatching, but when you make them invisible so as to avoid the problem in camera view that the OP brought out, they loose their hatching in plan. Like you, I thought the Hatch Wall tool might work, but no soap. It looks like when (any?) wall is made invisible, the fill is lost in plan, which sort of neuters the Demolition Wall: you either loose the demolition designation (hatching) in plan, or you live with the problems it creates in camera views.

Yes, I really never want any hatching on a demo wall, its to messy for me, What I really do is create a cad mask the goes behind the walls so when I remove a wall the mask shows up in it's place automatically and it won't mess up the model. takes a couple of minutes to set up b/c I have an anno-set set up to do it. I guess he could use a p-line to hatch it . I really never use those demo walls in the lib.

[MickeyToo]

I am with you, Perry. I always use a CAD mask in a remodel (and have never used the Demo Wall, either). I just didn't know if there might not be a better way.
