Stacked walls in AutoCAD Architecture

[evanf]

Hi All,

I have been checking out Revit recently and I have found the stacked walls to be very useful. Has anybody found any easy wasy of creating these in AutoCAD Architecture? I have been manually stacking wall styles to create this effect. It looks fine in 3D but when a less experienced user attempts to revise the drawings it ends up in a mess! (for example a wall gets moved in plan view but the wall above the cut plane is not moved.... after a few revisions the drawing becomes a mess!)

Obviously stacked walls don't exist to the same extent as Revit but I would be open to more efficient suggestions to the aboev option!

Thanks,

Evan

Components of ACA Walls do not have to run from Wall Bottom to Wall Top.  You can have a single wall style that has different components "stacked" on top of each other, such as an exterior wall that has a masony exterior component running from Wall Bottom to 3'-4" above Wall Baseline, and then some other exterior component (stucco/EIFS/siding) from 3'-4" above Wall Baseline to Wall Top.

Hi David,

Thanks for the reply. That sounds like the optimum solution! I might play around with the walls styles and see how it works for me. Are you aware of any tutorials which include this?

See attached PDF from Autodesk University which has a section about stacked walls.
