    Default Structural usage - Non-bearing structural walls

    I have walls that are not shear walls and are non-bearing. So I have them set to non-bearing. But when I set the view to structural, they disappear. They need to be on the structural plan. Why isn't there a structural usage for walls that is neither. I can use the combination, but they are actually the opposite of that. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Perhaps you need to set the view to coordination. Quite often if walls are not structural in nature, i'll just link a cad file with just the walls into the required view. That way they show only on plan.

    Set it to structural as you normally would. Use the Underlay layer to show the same layer - this appears to always be a 'coordination' type view and shows all walls 'under' the main view. So architectural walls will show up as halftone in a structural view. You can change that behavior as well I think, but we like the style and behavior and haven't tried to modify it.
