Plan Region Wall Cut

Plan Region Wall Cut

Anonymous
Not applicable

I've created a pillar detail that includes two walls stacked on each other. The top wall shows up normal in plan view; I can see the cut patterns in the materials. However, I want to dimension to the stud of the wall below and I want the wall below to be visible. I have created a plan region which hides the wall above by lowering the cut plane. Fantastic. Problem: it isn't showing my hatch patterns for my stone, plywood, or my studs. I can only see the face of wall line work. 

 

I have checked the wall type materials, I have a cut pattern applied to my materials, I've checked the color of the cut pattern to make sure it isn't white. I know I'm cutting through the wall and not seeing the top of the wall. I made sure the top wall and the wall below weren't joined. I have a sweep going along the wall, I've hidden that and put the cut plane below the sweep. I even tried modifying the entire view range (not just a plan region), I'm still not able to see my wall materials. .... I'm at my wits end.

You have to make the lower wall's Unconnected Height > 4'-0" and edit profile to make it dwarf, or make the top connect to the upper level and give it a top offset to bring it down to the true height.  Then the layers will show.

Thank you, that worked.

Hi there

 

I have a sub-region on a plan, however the walls which I'm cutting through are not showing hatching. Have I set the view up in correctly? I've spent about 1 hour messing about with the height. Hopefully the attachment will show how I have it set up currently. 

 

I'm not sure if I'm having the same problem as the original query as I cannot download the attachments.
