When I am drawing floor framing or roof framing plans, I have the walls below showing so I can show where supporting beams and headers are located. The doors and windows are showing in the walls. These walls, doors and windows are assigned a grey pen so the items are distinct from the actual framing items (beams, joists, trusses).
I have been doing this by drawing the joists etc on the same story as the walls. I have a story structure of floor, top of wall, next floor. I prefer to do it this way as I can assign the wall heights from floor to top of wall rather than assign a deduction for the top of wall if I used a floor to floor story structure.
I see that if I place the joists on the top of wall story and set the extent of the cutting plane below the top of the wall, the walls below will show up on the plan (if I set the walls to show on relevant stories). This is great but the windows and doors don't show which I need.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how this might work?
