Tobias Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Is it possible to control wall height by class? I would like to be able to move walls into a class (Demo-Wall) and have the height of the walls changed to z=0 height. Idealy, moving walls out of that class would return walls to a default height, i.e. layer height. Quote Link to comment
VincentCuclair Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Why not do it through Layers instead? Quote Link to comment

Tobias Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 Why not layers or wall styles? Right now my methodolgy for dealing with renovation is to have the existing, demo and proposed all on the same layer (different layers for different floors, slab layers and roof) and control what is shown using classes. I already have a class for demo-wall and exst-wall that controls the graphic display of the wall, without having to move the walls to a new layer or having to change it's wall style. So, during design of an existing structure, I can easily move walls between exst-wall class (walls that will remain) and demo-wall class(walls that will be removed) and have the graphical display of the walls change. Its is helpful to see where the demo-walls are in plan view, for existing load paths, etc, but I usually don't want the walls to have height in a 3d view. I would rather not have separate layers for for demo or more wall styles to manage. Quote Link to comment
VincentCuclair Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Is it possible to control wall height by class? Well in that case no......your best bet is to simply change the demo-wall height to 0 when needed. (Check first that you don't lose info when doing this ie. perhaps windows/doors are deleted if the wall is changed to 0 height? Or perhaps certain wall aditions are removed?) Quote Link to comment
