I have created several stacked walls in my model and I am to the point of dimesioning my walls. I am wanting to dimension to the centerline (core) of walls; however, when I try to dimension a stacked wall it won't give me the choice to dimension to the core centerline.

Is it possible to design a wall where the core boundary lines fall in the middle of a wall layer?
Case in point is a complex wall with an 8" foundation wall that follows a building line along its exterior face. Above that is 3'-6" of stone veneer/airspace/sheathing/6" stud/drywall. Above that is EIFS/sheathing/6" stud/drywall.
The design calls for an insulation gap between the slab and the foundation and for the top of the wall to be 6" above the first floor level. The 6" metal stud thus overhangs the top of the foundation wall by 1" on the interior side.
Ideally the floor would be flush and core would simply follow the studs but the building lines (controlled by the grid) control the placement of the foundation wall and no part of the upper wall lines up with the foundation wall. Even worse the exterior finish falls 1/2" inside the exterior of the wall below and there should be no line drawn there.

What is the easiest way to dimension to the centerline of a wall? I need to land a dimension tick where there is no line.

I'm able to do the walls but when i switch it to the analytical view the wall doesn't appear because it's not structural. It's there a way to do in-place mass structural walls.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to override a dimension and I need it to be a diagonally stacked fraction (8 1/4). How do I do this?
I know there is a box in properties for text override, but it won't stack my fraction for me.
I wrote the code below (allow the user to pick points in different viewports and then override an existing dimension's text with the difference in X values. The (hopefully) last issue is that the fractions should be vertically stacked and at 100% text size.

I have been a VS user for a long time now. I am currently using VSPro X5. I have an Intel Core i7-3770K overclocked to about 4.3GHz. I am running a little tuning utility program by intel to validate that when using VSPro X5 it is indeed utilizing only 1 core and about 19% of the CPU. This is irregardless of whether or not I am editing or encoding video. I have selected all of the hardware acceleration options and optimizations to no effect.
I also use MainConcept's encoder to render certain video and have validated that all 4 cores are engaged during the process and about 65% of the CPU is utilized.
I downloaded and installed the trial version of X6 and ran it and used it to process video with the same results as X5.
I am running 64 Bit Win7 Ult.
For the sake of comparisons, an AVI file converted to MPG (720x480, 1500kbps) is converted by: MainConcept at about 200fps VSPro X5 at about 30fps
I am thinking of upgrading my PC, but only if the dual-core and quad-core machines will run Photoshop and Lightroom faster than a single core machine (which I have now). Does anyone know if Adobe has upgraded their software (CS3 and Lightroom) to take advantage of the multi-threading that's possible with multi-core PCs?

The wall shows fine in the model. This is the first time I have has this happen. I tried scrolling and panning the preview to look but to no avail.

I have attached a screen-shot of the problem, where the the last hollow core slab overlap the beam. I can manually change the width of the last beam, but it would take a lot time, moreover if I change the dimension of the overlapped beam, then i have to readjust the last hollow core slab.

I have tried attaching top base etc. but its not working. I only seem to be able to select one side of the roof when selecting where to attach the walls. I have attached 3d pics showing the walls that are extruding & also one of the walls that I am trying to attach.
Just what the title says. Walls dont appear when drawing in plan view but appear in the 3d view. how come??
View 1 Replies View RelatedI drew some internal walls before adding a floor slab. After adding the floor slab the walls disappeared in plan. I can see them in 3D, in the correct place, but not in plan.
The floor slab is in the right position. To fix the problem I redrew them all, but why did they disappear and how do I prevent it from happening again?
using zoom wheel on mouse, how do i enable passing through walls, instead of continuing to zoom further and further in on walls

View 1 Replies View Relatedwhy my existing walls show up fine in my sheet but don't plot to .pdf. I have the view range settings set correctly and all other sheets plot fine.
I thought maybe the roof transparency was the issue but Revit is usually pretty much a WYSIWYG plotting operation and the walls are displaying in the sheet file. Haven't tried plotting to a plotter but it doesn't matter. I need to plot .pdf's.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have one wall (basic wall) where !'ve edited to profile to have a large rectagle omitted. I have a second wall (curtain wall) that needs to occupy that space with a 1/2" gap on either side and a 1" gap along the top. I can maintain the gap along the top, but when the gaps along the sides shrinks below 1", the walls meet and the gap is reduced to zero. I've tried making the internal wall into a group, but whenever the outer wall's profile is edited to within 1/2", And I click the Finish button, the interior wall (inside the group) extends to meet it. Automatically Embed is turned off for the curtain wall. I've tried locked dimensions, but that didn't seem to work.
How I can maintain the gap without the walls closing?
