composite walls: only showing the core at certain scales

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 10:49:18 GMT

We've created our own composite walls that include core, sheathing, and finish materials, which is really useful for detailed sheets in CDs.

However we'd like those same composite walls to only show their core when we are in SDs, which are shown at a smaller, less detailed scale.

Is there a way to hide all the materials except for the core in composite walls?

We've already looked in Model View Options, turning on Override Cut Fills, and setting it to "No Fill" and turning off "Show Skin Separator Lines". Doing that hides all the materials but the wall is shown as having the thickness of all the materials combined, when we would prefer to see the thickness of just the core structure.

Any ideas?

(We are using Archicad 15 on a Windows 7 box.)

In the Document menu, under Partial Structure Display is the "Core Only" option. Or you can just set it in your View Settings.

Thanks Stuart!

I guess that's one of the settings I've just been overlooking the whole time. Thanks for pointing it out.
