How to hide doors / window in a 'setting-out' plan

[desmond_grace]

Hi there 

I have created a General Arrangement Plan complete with Walls / Doors / Windows etc.

I have now been asked to create a 'setting-out' plan which only shows the Structural Walls.

All doors / windows are to be hidden and the full wall is to be shown instead.

Any thoughts on the best way to carry this out?

Thanks in advance

Thanks barthbradley. 

Is there a way to show the structural wall where the wall / door are? I know it could be done with fill regions, but is there a way that's more efficient?

Phasing and Infills will get you there.  For example, if Walls are placed in the Existing Phase and Windows/Doors are placed in New Construction Phase, then Infill Walls will be placed in the Existing Wall where the "future" Doors/Windows are placed.  Get it? And this is all schedule-able.

Parts might be another approach here that could work as well.

Keep walls in phase 1, add a new phase 2 for all fenestrations and set the set-out view to phase 1 is the easiest solution.
