Walls with fire resistance graphic representation in 2d

Marakos — Mon, 18 Nov 2024 08:42:54 GMT

Hello!

I am searching for option to make visible in 2d views that walls with fire resistance have difrent classes.

When I choose for example wall with 60 minuts resistance I need it to be graphic visible by green dashed line. Where can I change this option in walls?

In options for walls I can choose what fire resistance wall can have but I want it to be visible in the drawings.

Thank you for any help.

Have a look at Graphic Overrides.

If you don't have the GO combination and rules set up in your file, you can create them, or export them from a default Graphisoft template and import them into your file.

Hello Barry.

Thank you for answer. Do you know how to do line in the axis of the wall. I can make line on the circuit of the wall or fill in color but how to make color line in axis?

I manage to make each wall difrent color just by choosing fireproof but I need to make it in axis mode.

We used to represent our 60min walls with a solid red line down the centre axis of the relevant walls and for 30 mins we used a dashed red line. With the introduction of Graphic Overrides we changed the way we displayed fire resistant structure. Instead we now have a duplicate plan drawing just used for Fire Strategy which overrides 30min walls with a solid blue colour and 60 min walls with a solid red. This is the same with doors too. We found it a much better way of representing the information and that it could then be automated with Graphic Overrides. Unfortunately there is not a way that I have seen where you can apply a line to the centre axis of the wall without drawing it manually.

As Lee mentioned, Walls do not have a visible axis line.

All you can do with the GOs is to override the skin line styles as you have done or override the fill.

If you really need centrelines, they will have to be drawn manually.

I believe the "Neo Firewall Line" wall accessory does what you want. It is mentioned in the very old thread below: see the second-to-last post by LiHigh for an updated version -

It seems to work in AC27, but I haven't used it properly. Remember to download the goodies addon suite to use the wall accessories if it isn't installed already.
