MarcBldgTechExpt Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I have Home Designer Pro and thought it would be useful to designate interior walls that are structural from non-structural walls so that I can have layout sheets for the builder to make it very easy which walls need to be completed before installing roof rafters on a large shed roof. Any tips to have certain walls show in a layer and to hide others without making another file and deleting them? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 What I commonly do for remodeling work is to make copies of wall types using the "Copy" command in the "Wall Specification Dialog - Define Dialog" taking "Interior 4" and making a copy of it called Interior 4, New and designating "Interior 4" default wall as "Existing". The same actions could create your default wall type as "Non-Load bearing" and the copy with a different fill type to represent your "Load Bearing" walls. If I had so little confidence that my carpenters need that elementary level of guidance, I would fire them and hire someone who knows how to carpenter.

MarcBldgTechExpt Posted March 5, 2021 Author Share Posted March 5, 2021 David, thanks for the feedback. I have been experimenting with this for several months on a limited basis. Actually, its not having a lack of confidence of the carpenter, but I wanted to bid out the structural framing and shell, then will finish the inside myself. You have a great point though.
