How do you show non-structural walls on a structural plan?


The structural engineer I'm drafting for want to see non-structural walls for orientation purposes.

In a structural plan the discipline setting of the view is set to structural.

In this setting non-structural walls are hidden. Set this setting to something like coordination to be able to see non structural walls

The view discipline settings have a hard coded set of rules what to show/hide which elements to show and how.

Please mention Revit version, especially when uploading Revit files.

The way I do it for instance is I make all walls structural and change their structural properties (bearing, shear only) or add smth specific in the name and then filter these. 

Using coordination discipline obviously has a big impact on the appearance (lets say structural elements get hidden under a floor slab).

this is really something revit needs to fix.  asking the architect to switch the walls to bearing back and forth 78 times in a week is not a solution.

yes but on the structural drawings i would to see the architectural walls as I would normally do with a CAD based drawing.  If I use collaboration view, things like dashed footings disappear and I have to figure out a bunch of work-arounds to give my structural engineer the graphics he wants

If you're using a linked file from the Architect, you can change the link settings to Architectural, while your view discipline setting remains Structural.
