Basic Wall vs Stacked Wall

[jrichardson]

I know that a Stacked Wall is just a make up of other Basic Walls. The properties of a Basic Wall will give you a Mark parameter and allow you to add additional Project Parameters to them. A stacked wall does not disply a Mark parameter nor will it take on any Project Parameters that are applied to the Wall category.

What I am trying to do is some basic sequenceing of wall panel pieces for a precast structure. The stacked walls are an L-shaped precast piece. (2 Basic Walls) I know I could of made a beam family or did in-place families but the Walls seem to model the best. Any ways each piece is suppose to get a mark number and I would add a yes/no paramter called "Erected" when the piece is erected the paramter would get checked. Works for everything but a stacked wall so far. (I know phase would do something similiar to this)

I guess I was hoping that a Stacked Wall would of treated the assembly of basic walls as a complete assembly thus allowing it to have its own Mark number. Has anyone else experience this issue in their work, and if so, any work arounds?

thanks,
