Larry_Sweeney Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I designed a one-story home with a walk-0ut basement. The walls in the basement that are in the walk-out area are pony walls with the upper section being 2X6 construction to the concrete floor and the lower (frost wall) being ICF walls. I lowered the ICF lower section of the pony walls to be 40" below the concrete floor. Up to this point everything is fine doing it this way. my problem occurs because on my foundation layout page, I like showing different render views of the foundation only, but how can I not show the upper 2x6 part of the pony walls? If I only want to show the foundation walls (masonry/ICF) along with the footers, do I have to approach my thinking differently by creating another level below my walkout level. That level would then have the ICF "frost wall" and I would change the pony wall to just a "normal 2X6 exterior wall". Is there a better way to approach my problem? As always, your time and advice are much appreciated. "IF" I have to change the lower level, which at present is the basement to something else and make the level below it the "basement", how does one go about that? It seems like a lot of cups of coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Alaskan_Son Posted March 21 Solution Share Posted March 21 I believe it was right here in X16 that we were first given display Layer control for the structural Layers of walls. You'll have to make use of those: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
