bbrother 0 Posted July 30 Hi . I'm having trouble getting the CMU walls to show up in the framing overview. this happens with full walls as well as a portion of a pony wall. As you can see all exterior walls are CMU and the front porch walls are pony walls with the lower wall being CMU. I looked at the wall defaults and it seems good to me. On the pony wall it only lets me show either upper or lower portions of the wall. Is that correct? Thanks for any help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

solver 600 Posted July 30 A framing overview only shows walls on level 0 and walls above that are framed. It doesn't show walls that are not framing like a CMU or pored concrete wall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bbrother 0 Posted July 31 Thanks for the tip on my signature. I meant to add that in my question, but forgot. Home designer Pro 2014. so if the CMU walls don't show up on framing overview, where will I find a view that shows the CMU walls with framing members? I'm doing a small project that I need drawings for the permitting process. Thanks again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
solver 600 Posted July 31 I believe you need to start with a standard Perspective Overview and change things to show as you want. For your wood framed walls, you would create a new wall type without drywall and turn on the wall framing layer so it shows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
