What are your prefs for wall reference lines?

[lagodue]

When I am drawing exterior walls, somehow I always try to place the reference line on the exterior side of the wall. For material selections, there is some consistency. For interior walls, anything goes.

How are others doing their reference lines, and why?

I think that what this all comes down to is which problems/limitations one prefers to avoid, and which ones are tolerable. It all depends on the details of the practice.

It is unfortunate that we have to make these lesser of the evils choices, rather than the best of the goods. I do hope/trust that this will improve.

This is where I find gyp and ply skins are better left out of composites, as they create as many problems as they solve, if not more.

now that i've had a chance to play with the NZ tools add-on, the gyb board / sheathing no longer features in my day to day composites either. i just model the core with ref line on the outside. interior walls fiddled to suit: any which way but loose.

it does have its drawbacks: door + window trims/architraves do not want to be hovering out away from the wall (regardless of frame depth) in order to leave space for the finish . . .

waiting for composites that work . . . .
