Renovation filters

Mac_the_arc — Wed, 28 Dec 2022 16:06:59 GMT

I have an existing granite walled building, which I have modelled. I want to keep a set of the existing, but also produce a set of drawings showing the existing plus wall lining internally. It makes sense to have one wall to do this, however I cannot see how you can create a wall with part existing elements, and part new elements.

One option would be to copy the walls between renovation filters, but I cannot see how to do that easily. Any suggestions?

The other option would be to build two models, one with all the existing elements, the other with identical elements, but everything on the 'new' renovation filter.

Unfortunately you can not add new skins to an existing wall.

So as you have described you will need existing granite walls and new granite/plaster walls.

To duplicate simply select and copy the granite walls, then paste, undo the paste, then re-do (the walls will now appear again and be selected), and change them for the new granite/plaster wall type.

Or you can add just a new separate plaster wall, but you will have to cut new openings for all of the existing doors and windows.
