Infill wall not structural

Anonymous — Fri, 12 Mar 2021 15:27:58 GMT

Hello,

In a remodeling project, I have demolished an existing door in a load-bearing wall. As usual, I get the infilling wall where the door was. But this piece of the wall will not be built as a "structural" wall but I can not deselect "structural" for the infilling wall. Does anyone have a solution on how to do that?

you should be able to select the infill and replace it with another wall type.

I have replaced it with another wall-type but the problem is that the existing wall has "structural" checked in properties and i can't uncheck it for the infilling wall.

So the filters that I have in the project that is showing struvtural walls with grey "solid fill" also fills this wall which I would not like it to do.

Can you apply a different graphic representation via Override Graphics in View: By Element?

I could do that, but as it is a massive project with many infilling walls this method would be very time consuming and in future remodeling project there is the risk that one thinks it is a bearing wall when it's not.
