    Default graphic wall types for special walls (rated walls)

    Summary: walls that have ability to add graphic wall types for rated fire/smoke

    Description: the ability to display visually if a wall is rated for fire or smoke and see graphically the extend of all these walls. This linetype will display on both plan and section. Will need several line-types. Various ratings from 20 min to 4 hr and differentiation for fire or smoke. Basically the way we did it with zip-tape over the walls so we would identify rated walls for engineers, contractors and code officials. Easy visual coordination to know to what extent dampers, penetrations, rated openings, etc would need to be addressed for lifesafety. Also need a line-type for sound walls.

    Default Re: graphic wall types for special walls (rated walls)

    Details I would like to see: 1) add system parameters to walls for sound rating and y/n for smoke tight 2) the tapes would be annotation objects (automatic tags?) of fire (combined with smoke tight) rating and sound rating, where we can turn them on or off via visibility graphics 3) interface for configuration of these two annotation objects similar to room color fills, where we could specify a printed width and drafting pattern for the value in the fire rating /smoke combinations 4) maybe the location of the tape could be adaptable to be to shown offset a certain distance from the wall (always on the outside?) below a certain scale? At 1/16", with the walls all gray, the fire marshal just wants to see the continuity of the smoke barrier, but we also don't want to completely obscure the walls and doors
