3D Unit Plan Symbols Non-Customizable

[jakemw]

We're currently running VW2018. There are two issues that we are currently having with our 3D unit plan symbols:

 

1. When the 3D unit symbols are created (these get distributed around the building), we then cannot add additional 3D walls into the symbols. They become only 2D and will not extrude up to the layer wall height. We have to kill the symbol, add the new walls, and then re-create the symbol.

2. Also, if the units are used where floor-to-floor heights change, the walls will not change with the story. Even though the walls are set to layer wall height.

 

How do people in the industry (doing 3D work) usually create unit plans? Or any fixes for this issue?

 

Thanks!!!!

Are you using walls with components set to bound to stories?  Just tried it with with walls set to bound to the layer elevation and it worked.

 

Have you tried using design layer viewports instead of symbols?

 

Feel free to post a sample file.  There are a LOT of variables with walls :-).
