Dividing Parts - How to add a new layer

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I've got a design model which is now moving into construction stage. I want to use parts to show different wall finishes.

I've been able to divide the wall into parts and edit the parts within the wall, however the different material have different layer elements at the outer layers.. I'm going from brick to plaster finish, this build up requires an extra layer.

Is this possible to add.

You could divide parts to layers but it would be a lot of work. I would edit the wall type (duplicate if necessary), add the layers, THEN create parts.

Thanks for answering. I try that.

All I can say is: I hope your walls are justified correctly, otherwise you could be faced additional headaches related to dimensions. I mean, if you add layers to already placed and dimensioned walls, those walls will "grow" in a particular direction pulling the dimension STRINGS with them.  Could get ugly. Been there; done that.
