    Default Fine View Walls / Coarse View Beams and Joists?

    Hey, does anyone know of a "simple" way to allow me (in plan view) to show my walls (8" cmu, 2" air, 4" brick) with Fine Detail and my beams and joists with Coarse Detail (single line with setbacks automatically)?

    I have been able to modify the family to accomplish this but I loose the automatic setback functionality.

    Thanks in advance!

    Try setting your plan to coarse and in the Visibility / Graphic Overrides dialog change the detail level of Walls to Medium or Fine. Does this accomplish what you are after?

    Man, I have reached new levels of forgetfulness on that vacation last week! I hope I didn't make your ribs hurt too much from laughing Paul - thanks for the ever so professional response.

    Where's my boat? Where's my drink? Why am I wearing pants instead of shorts?

    No problem Rick . . . I'm suffering similar symptoms due to severe lack of recent vacation.

    Fwiw, there is no difference between medium and fine detail level as it applies to walls, medium will work "fine"
