Hi I am doing both architectural and structural drawings of a reinforced concrete house and need to show wall with insulation and plaster on the arc. sheets but want to be able to turn of the insulation on the structural sheets. Any ideas how I can do this? Hakon

If you are using two seperate files I know you can do it, otherwise...not sure how to. Bump.

You will probably have to do seperate walls.

Would you do this by linking the Structural drawings to the Architectural drawings?

Are you doing this in two seperate projects? (Project size might control this) If two projects, then you would link the files. The structural probvebly needs to own the structural walls, but the architectural may need to copy/monitor those so that doors and windows can be placed.

If I am thinking right of what you are trying to do, edit the family and create sub-categories for the wall, pilaster and whatever else, when you go to vv under walls you will see your new sub-cats under the walls and can turn them on and off and they will apply to view templates you create also

This is small and rather simple building, one project (Substation in an Aluminum plant) but I have done 5 architectural drawings (sheets) of it and 8 structural drawings (sheets) of it in one file. I know I can split it to two files now and just change the walls on the structural part but then I lose the connection between the arc. and struct. drawings. I expect to make some changes to the building as this is still early in the design face and layout may change. I am not able to edit the wall family to create the subcategories to be able to turn them off in vv, how do I do that?

The previous poster was incorrect, you cannot create a sub-category for walls but if worksets are enabled, you can place the walls in different worksets. Otherwise, you could also use phases to control what shows or even use the hide in view to control which walls show.

sorry, assumed it worked just as a family I see the errors of my ways-haha. Thought walls had wraps you could show or not? Anyways if I have an architectural drawing with lines appearing I do not want I use the linework tool to either change the style or make it invisible (if I can't control it through vv) and in the structural view you dont need to see the architectural patterns so you can make those not visible

I also see I was assuming you were linking 2 different files-2 for 2 for me-hahaha. Yeah just hide stuff and draw lines where you need them then
