TMM Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 How to create the texture of the thinset in the wall component? (The second layer, black dotted texture line under tiles.) Quote Link to comment
Tom W. Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Do you mean a texture that you will see in 3D when the outer tile component is turned off, or a Tile Fill that you will see in Top/Plan + section? I don't know whether the thinset component in your screenshot is drawn-in geometry or whether it's already a Tile. If it's drawn geometry it's very easy to do this as a Tile instead. 1 Quote Link to comment
TMM Posted September 28, 2022 Author Share Posted September 28, 2022 I am looking for a material hatch that could make this to work in the wall component. I have modeled the wall in 3D but need to edit this component to show the correct wall section. Any idea? Quote Link to comment
Jeff Prince Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 …create a class for the thin set, configure the fill with the desired hatch configure the component to get its graphic properties from the aforementioned Class unless you mean something completely different… Quote Link to comment
E|FA Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 You can also deal with how the large scale detail looks by cleaning it up in the annotations of the sheet layer viewport. Quote Link to comment

TMM Posted September 28, 2022 Author Share Posted September 28, 2022 Hi Tom, after creating the tile, do I just draw a 2d rectangle and fill it with the tile? The one you have seems like a 3d component in the wall. Am I understanding correctly? Quote Link to comment
TMM Posted September 28, 2022 Author Share Posted September 28, 2022 Oh wow, I have figured out! Thank you so much Tom!!! 1 Quote Link to comment
TMM Posted September 28, 2022 Author Share Posted September 28, 2022 but of course, follow-up question: Right now, the wall component line overlaps in an unorganized way. I want the red line below to come to the front, not the blue line. Is this possible? (Each component has its own class line style) Quote Link to comment

They graphically stack in ascending order based on the components. I think if you want that blue line to go away, you will need to set the pen for that component to none. It's kinda hard advising on these things from an image, perhaps you should attach a .vwx example. Quote Link to comment
TMM Posted September 28, 2022 Author Share Posted September 28, 2022 Hi, here is the VW file! I want the blue line to go below and the red line to come above as the previous images showed. I know I could get rid of the blue line attributes, but my co-workers seriously insist to leave the blue line as a property in case they will need it in the future. Any idea? wall component study.vwx 1 Quote Link to comment

Edit your component graphics for.... Wood Stud Framing Left Pen - set to none That will eliminate the line in question in this wall style without you messing with the class behavior. Unfortunately, If you just want to see the studs at some point, you'll be missing the line until the left pen is set back to solid.... but that's a moot point given how you have classed your components as you currently do not have a method for showing the framing in isolation... Unsolicited advice....When people go to the trouble of showing components, they usually class based on the construction material instead of graphic convention you have used here. Something to think about, as you have painted yourself into a bit of a corner when it comes to extracting data and worksheets from your walls. Hope it helps, Jeff 1 Quote Link to comment

Is that what you mean or do you have a different way? (wouldn't surprise me if you had!) Quote Link to comment

Jeff Prince Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 (edited) @Tom W. here are modified versions of @TMM's wall. The tile method on the left, hatch method on the right. Hope it helps. wall for Tom.vwx Edited September 29, 2022 by jeff prince Quote Link to comment
Tom W. Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Thanks Jeff. I couldn't see how the hatch could be made to work in section but that might have been me... Plus it doesn't rotate with the wall... This is my take on the hatch method, until I got bored of creating hatch levels... wall for Tom-2.vwx Quote Link to comment

I think the only time one would really even want to see this is in Section, what a muddy mess it could become in Plan. Quote Link to comment
