JackBuilt Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Greetings. I may or may not be having a Stories epiphany. Anyway I want my wall styles to insert (be drawn) on the outside of the framing of which the panel sheathing is the outside. IE: 2x6 wall with OSB sheathing where the drawing point is the outside of the OSB. How do I do this without a work-around? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 I don't think this has anything to do with stories. I think you can use the modes on the tool bar to sort that out: Quote Link to comment
JackBuilt Posted July 14, 2019 Author Share Posted July 14, 2019 Thanks for the reply. Stories irrelevant to the question. I didn't phrase my question well. My walls using a style with siding were being drawn from the siding so I set the control to the thickness of the siding and used the Wall Control Line Mode, the next one after the 4 you indicated.

JackBuilt Posted July 14, 2019 Author Share Posted July 14, 2019 I need to be able to draw to the framing not the siding. I thought my solution was working but does not Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Use the Core Component Control line mode. 1 Quote Link to comment
Guest Wes Gardner Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 @Inspectorjack, yes, as Jonathan suggests, you can use the core as the control...BTW, it's fairly important to define a core in your wall styles or the slabs won't know what to do (if, of course, you're using the automation built into the program). If for some odd reason you find you need even more control over the offset, you can set a custom offset in your wall style that will then be used by the Custom offset function up there in the control line selections.

JackBuilt Posted July 23, 2019 Author Share Posted July 23, 2019 Thanks for the replies. I set my sheathing as the core component and was able to gain the "control" I needed. Quote Link to comment
