Clt wall materials not visible

[katsanosengineer]

Hello,

I made a CLT wall out of basic wall, adding 5 layers with different material and the preview is fine.

But it doesn't look like this out of the edit assembly preview, regardless the visual style.

If you want the edge of the wall to show different layers then create parts from the wall and set the 3d view to show parts.

Thank you for your response, but how can I create parts from the wall?

Thank you, but when I create parts out of it I can't modify the wall like before. There is no option that I can see the layers and modifying the wall as one piece?

Hi @katsanosengineer 

You can still modify the original wall, Parts are automatically updated and regenerated when the original element from which they are derived is modified. Such edits might include adding/removing layers, or changing wall type, layer thickness, wall orientation, geometry, materials, or openings.

On the Properties palette, under Graphics, select the Show Original option from the Parts Visibility drop-down list and then modify to update.
