element attribute display

[Anonymous]

can someone explain to me how to get the elements to display in section but not in plan. for example: i have wood frame exterior walls built up of drywall, 2x6 stud, ply sheathing, air space, finish siding. i've made the ply and stud, core elements and everything else finish elements. i made the ply a core element so that in plan the wall is 6" thick, because in section i need the studs to be 5 1/2" thick. the problem is that the ply fill is showing up in plan. also, i thought the core elements would be the snap point, not the finish. do i have to set an offset for the elements i don't want to snap to?

ok, i just found that i have one wall using complex elements and the elements don't show on plan, but i can't see any difference between the settings on this one and the others

Bob,

Here is how i handled the fill issue. I have a pen set for sections, in this set there is a dedicated pen for plywood fills. Lets say its a blue color. I have a duplicate of this pen set for the floor plans. In this pen set the blue pen is white so the fill does not show. I build all my walls with the face of stud on the origin, so that becomes the snap/reference point.

Hope that helps

David
