DavidJPotter Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 You will have to upgrade to HD Pro in order to create custom wall types, sorry. Your "signature" shows that you use "Architectural 2021", if that is out of date, please update it so it shows what you are now using, please.

Tyler2022 Posted January 16, 2023 Author Share Posted January 16, 2023 I am not quite sure what is going on. I was asking if anyone uses a vaspor barrier under the housewrap because whenever I looked at a detailed example i was asking if there is a substitution within the program i can use for the water barrier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 My answer above was based upon me checking using my 2023 Architectural trial version. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Most default wall types have a "House Wrap" AKA vapor barrier", I think only masonry and block walls do not use a "House Wrap". What I was trying to communicate is that Wall layers and definitions can not be manually edited in Architectural 2023, if your version can, then good for you.

I was trying to see if there are alternatives that i can use for the barrier because I'm aware that the 22 software doesn't have the right material. So i was asking for suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your wording makes me think you don't understand the components of the wall you are building. However, you may create your own material if one does not exist in the library. But my real question is why add all these layers to your wall? Especially ones that are 0" thick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler2022 Posted January 17, 2023 Author Share Posted January 17, 2023 you are right and I'm totally open on learning the right way of the right components that goes on a outside wall under the stucco or even inside too. if you have some time to teach me i would absolutely appreciate the education. this is the materials that builders use in my area which is new Mexico. Truly to be honest with you i have walked multiple frames that had the lath and the wire in the ongoing process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
