Wall Display

[stephen.taylor9]

How do you remove the yellow boxes which appear attached to wall ends in plan view?

[dbroad]

They are probably dimension markers indicating there is a dimension that can't display. Why are you using 1:1 annotation scale? You are looking at a building after all, not a door knob.

This need to be  paper scale to match your print output

Theres no dimensions on this drawing. It's a construct in Architecture rather than a drawing. It looks like a set out point or something attached to the actual wall itself. I've looked in the wall style display but cant see anything to turn them off.

[dbroad]

Did you change the annotation scale?  Post the drawing if you continue having issues.

[stephen.taylor9]

Yeah, changed scale but I think its to do with the wall style itself. I've attached the drawing below.

There are no particular problems with the interior drawing, although, it is certainly a strange bird.  Here are some non-standard items:

• Parallel walls that are really only wall layers, such as gypsum board.  Typically a wall is a single object that is made of multiple component layers.
• Linework that appears to be used as one or more layout grids. Typically you use a grid for this.
• AEC wall openings in the same locations as doors. Typically, you need only a door to create an opening but you may be running into issues since you are running multiple walls as if they are components parallel to one another.  I suggest using the out of the box walls and modifying them.

Look for issues in your xreffed drawings. We can't see those since they weren't posted.

Thanks for that. It's actually a timber frame wall, from a timber frame manufacturing program which is a bolt on to architecture. Thats why the plasterboard is drawn seperate to the wall itself.

Its the actual set out point of the wall, or something, that seems to be displayed. I just want to get rid of these if possible.

You probably should work with your timber frame program writers to avoid the need for multiple parallel walls.  It's much easier to maintain a single wall than 3 or 4 parallel walls.
