Provide new Composites... (Wall) options and Display Options for Construction Fills.
Composites:
1) Ability to define a "Structural Core" perhaps with Check boxes that identify which 2 (or more?) points are the structural faces. For example, which 2 sides are the faces of a 2x6. Then....(see below)...
Display Options:This would be a very nice option to have for structural backgrounds.
1) Ability to select in Display options, view "Structural Core" perhaps with an additional popup palette right next to the Construction Fills popup. This way the two choices would work together. For example, if I want to make a structural drawing (or export a base to an engineer), I might select Structural Core with a Solid fill to poche it as my Display Option. My engineers don't like having all my wall finishes to contend with and I agree with them.
2) Ability to view Wall Reference Line only (similar to the Beams parameter) as second option mentioned in the popup above. For example if I want to make Roof plan, I could use this setting to display only the Reference Line of my walls. This seemingly providing a building perimeter line. I hope........This one wouldn't be much use to me since I put the reference lines on the inside face of exterior walls.

Why do you put yyour reference line on the inside of ext. walls? Do you find it easier to snap to for accurate layout of interior walls or do the walls clean-up better?

COMPOSITE WALLERS....
Did anyone notice that the composite display where the fill is oriented WITH the wall does NOT work in 9.0? I just ported a plan over from 8.1 and all my PLYWOOD has disappeared from the walls going horizontal!
Anyone?
