2D Drafting Style While Keeping 3D Components

[Z♟️]

Hi,

i would like to create a wall that when in a 2d/floorplan view is colored grey 

but have that same wall also show the exterior as stucco for when i present in 3d

yet also have that wall show insulation/drywall/framing/etc. when i create a section

 

reason for this is because currently i am using the standard wall function and on my plans it shows the insulation & everything in it... i do not think this is a function needed when doing construction documents as i believe in simplicity and only showing a level of detail needed on the plans.. the sections and 3d view are great but just dont think the 2d/floorplan view needs that level of detail

@Builtra easily done in plan via viewport control if you place your walls on classes with graphic control by class.

In your plan viewport, turn off the inner components of your walls off.

Your sections and elevations are unaffected.

You can have your cake and eat it too 🙂

Another possibility would be to use Data Visualizations to set the fill color for the walls in Plan rather than Viewport Overrides.
