DakotaContractor Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I am trying to create a CAD cross section of the structure for the plan drawings. I was able to locate the how-to article in the knowledge base of how to supposedly do this, however, when I do a "backflipped cross section I get a blank screen even with every layer turned on. And when I do a regular cross section my foundation and footings don't show up (even with layer turned on). Attached an example of what I'm essentially trying to create (courtesy of CA's knowledge base). As well as the closest I've gotten my cross-section view to appear to, which also shows the footing/foundation issue I'm describing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Alaskan_Son Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Just to be certain… You did build the foundation, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaskan_Son Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Whenever I have things that don't want to show up, I usually try switching to an expendable layerset, selecting all, checking "display" and changing the color for all layers to black. By doing this you can narrow the problem down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Did you turn on all the foundation items, like, footings foundation walls, slabs, in that camera view. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakotaContractor Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 Michael - I'll try that out to see if I can narrow it down. Perry - Yeppers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaskan_Son Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Barret, Your problem is that your layers are not turned on in your Section View layer set. I think you're turning the layers on in your plan view, but the plan view and camera views are using different layer sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakotaContractor Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 Michael are you referring to this? If so they are on. If this isn't what you're referring to then I'm lost as to what layer set you're referencing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DakotaContractor Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 AHA! I couldn't find the specific place you screen shot Alan, with the red + signs etc. But it got me exploring further into buttons I'd never even clicked or noticed before LOL. I clicked Layer Set Control by way of the little gear icon at the bottom of the Active Layer Display Options. Scrolled down to Walls, Foundation, box checked, and TADA! Thanks guys! Now to get closer to the representation I attached in my OP do I just hide the interior walls and outside foundation wall so they don't show in the cross section?
