Hi Bill,
I am having the same dilema here with how a second floor framing plan shows main floor walls including headers and second floor joists and beams supporting them. Have you had a success in making it work? Please advise. Also if you could send me some of drawing samples, that will be very helpful.
Thanks,
Bernad
Hi Barnard,
Can you please send me a sample file what type of problem you are facing for selecting "View Range"?
Thanks & regards,

I need to revive this thread because I need some help as well and I've attached a file for as well. Same as Bill Allen who started the post, I have a Wood Floor Framing Plan and a Wood Bearing Wall/Header Plan. SEPERATE...
What I'm trying to do is set the View Range so that I can combine the 2 plans. Currently if I move the cut plane I can't see the joist framing or the window doors. one or the other. Is it possible to set it up to have these the same.
I was able to do it forcing the headers of the doors and windows up into the cut plane but that's just not proper.
I was able to get it to the point I have attached that combines the 2 Views. Problem with Families though.
The is for the center hallway.
The Open Web Joist Family shows and the 2x8 Dimension Lumber does not show. If I go to the 3d view select the beam system and change it to the Open Web Joist, K-Series Joists.. it shows. If I change it to a W-Shaped steel, C-Shaped Steel, or back to the 2x8 wood it doesn't show.
