Exporting interior walls to dwg I-Wall Layer

526996629 — Wed, 20 Apr 2022 03:05:23 GMT

Does anyone know how to export interior walls to dwg I-Wall layer rather than A-Wall layer?

I have set the so-called 'interior walls' function to 'interior'

However, when exporting this to dwg, this type of wall is still in the A-Wall layer. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Are you sure the Walls/Interior export to "I-Wall" Layer under Export Setup?

...post screenshots of your Export Setup.

Thanks for the replay. Please see image below:

I think all walls are set to the 'Walls' category. Any way to drop the interior walls to 'walls/interior' category?

What is the Function - Core-Shaft set to?

When I exported the gypsum finish went to the I-Wall layer and the core of the wall went to the A-Wall layer. Try to set the core-shaft to interior and see what that does.

Sorry, but this way is not helping.

Please see attached. Anything wrong with my export setup? Or any other reasons?

No issues with the File.

FWIW: I opened your file with Audit and Detach from Central checked.

Thanks for you reply.

Did you use my export setting called 'dwg export'?

Also, I had the same wall type here in the image. But when exported to CAD, they are dropped in different layer. One is in the A-Wall layer and the other is in the I-Wall layer. What is the reason?

I copied these 2 walls into the same file I send you just now. Below is what happens. A possible reason is something is not correct in my export setting. But I didn't find out. (I attached a new one that shows the image below.)
