Roof Plan w/ walls below

[Tom Krowka]

Any way to have the walls below the roof show up? I was hoping this new release would allow it. I see the walls have a new setting "automatic" but the walls only go up to the ceiling and not the roof. It would be nice if the ghost level could display.

I think it depends how you want it to look Tom.

I haven't tested this yet, but I think if you want the walls to show up as solid lines under your roof, you could incorporate your top story and roof into one story. Then you could adjust the view's setting to raise the cut plane above the roof. You could also adjust the view's model view options to turn all walls (and roofs) to show the cut fill contours only, along with your desired window/door options.

Just a thought.

Cheers,

Link,
This look like a good potential solution...but not if you want to keep a separate story for your roof....Does version 10 offer the abilty to display walls across stories like the roof tool and objects??? I hope so.

I was told that it does.
Can't say for sure though as I'm still waiting for it to arrive.

Barry,

Will try Link's suggestion. Too bad there is no easy way to do this. I can't understand why walls can't work like other elements and show up on levels other than their own.

Yes and no. Walls appear on stories they pass through. There is not a blanket "show on above" or "show on below" setting.

I generally just show an outline of the exterior walls and any other load supporting elements. Because of the limitations I do this with a line having to trace the walls. It would be very nice if this alternate display requirements of the wall would be recognized by graphisoft. Just like the notion that at times users want different display control of walls in plan and section views (low walls).
