Wondering if folks have used HD to design homes where the exterior wall is CMU (Concrete Block)?

[pinionmgr]

Hello folks, I'm new to the community and not finding much HD documentation regarding the HD product's support for designing homes with 8" CMU (Block) exterior walls.

 

Please kindly point to me to any documentation references I may have missed in the User and Reference guides.

 

Is there a particular version of HD that best supports using CMU as the exterior wall?

 

Also, if anyone has used HD to design a home with 8" CMU exterior walls, it would be great to hear about your experience and any tips.

 

Much appreciated!

Now that I post this, I see a post below which I will review..

I have not done one but I cannot see it being difficult you need to set exterior wall default to be your CMU type.

 

I have seen some before in the wall types available in various templates.

 

Then I would open the edit screen for the wall and make sure wall layers are as you like.

 

Maybe like:

Interior to exterior:

1/2" sheetrock

2x4 wood stud

1" this spray foam to create thermal break.

8" thick CMU

???

 

After CMU depends on what you wanna do I could see maybe stucco?
