Renovation lines

Im preparing planning drawings for a house extension and have created a slapping through an existing external wall for the new extension. The wall and roof eaves to be removed has been put on a demolition status, however when viewing the 'existing elevations', this wall has lines that I dont want to see between the 'existing and demolition' renovation status. How do I hide these.

I am not sure what a "slapping" is.

Do the exiting and to be demolished walls overlap at all or just touch end to end as they should?

Is the to be demolished items set to 'Show' and any new items set to 'Hidden' in the show existing renovation filter?

If you set the "Show All' filter on, do you see the same thing?

a slapping is an opening in an existing wall, it must be a Scottish building term.

 

Wall ends touch. The demolished filter is set to show. If I set this to hide then I just get a gaping hole on the existing drawings. Show All just turns on the new elements.

Must be.

 

So have you placed an actual opening in the wall?

No need, just split the existing wall and then set the part that is to go as 'to be demolished'.

So back to my original question. I have an existing wall (existing filter), which I have split to create a slapping putting the wall I want to remove onto the demolition filter. When I create an existing elevation of the wall, I can see the lines between the two filters. I can't find a way in AC to hide these lines, and as a fix im having to use hatches t cover them.

Exactly what I did.

Can you drag a copy of just those 3 walls to the side and have a look at them?

I was wondering if something else is interfering.
