Only want studs to show in plan.

[Anonymous]

How do I only show the stud thickness in plan view?

Turn off Cut patterns in VG for walls and override the host layers by clicking "Cut Line Styles" and edit that and change Finish 1 and Finish 2 (which hopefully is your gyp bd) and change the lines to white.

Easier method though is just change the view to coarse and don't show the material lines at all...but if you are dimensioning they will be incorrect when it is time for CD's.

We use the parts method and either: show only core filter or, phase the finish layers.

@Anonymous, just thought I add something else for your consideration. Kind of a hybrid of @Anonymous workflow and mine. Still use Parts, but use view overrides for wall (in course detail view) to change the outer most finish layer, not to a hidden line (not to white) and the transparency to 100%. That way you can have a representation of the finish extents of the wall in view, while accentuating the core (perhaps with a poche or heavier pen weight). You would have to set the view to show both Parts and Original as well, for this to work.

(Sorry,i f that sounds a bit cryptic. Hope you get it)

This is what I found to do, but it isn't changing the thickness of the wall to just the stud thickness. I just want to be able to have the thickness of the stud shown in the floor plan, but the entire wall in the wall section and the model.

I think we are all talking about Views only, @Anonymous.

Maybe I am not getting how to use the parts menu. I have changed all of the finishes except the structure to white lines, but that has not changed the look or dimension of the wall to the stud thickness. I was hoping by doing that then this wall would be a 3 1/2" wall and the exterior wall would be 5 1/2" thick wall, but it is including the full thickness of the wall being about 8".

I think I am doing this right.... Its still showing the materials though.Wall.PNG

[barthbradley · Accepted solution]

Your're in a course detail view representation of the wall, right? At that detail level, Revit shows you the full extents of the wall (finish layers included). If you want to not see the finish layer beyond the core, and just see the core layers; then Part out the wall and use a filter to isolate the core in view (per the instructions in the link I provided). That's our workflow and it works great. We pull all our dimensions are pulled from core face. The finish is extraneous graphical info.

If you look at the link I have provided above you can see how to filter parts by material.  I didn't open @barthbradley link but I think we use similar approach.
