View Full Version : Hiding Split face material?

I have used to split face tool to bring a wall finish down to 8" above grade. This split face material is on the concrete foundation. Due to the site condition the concrete foundation has to go up much higher than the grade. I have created an isometric view of the foundation. What I want to show is a 3d of the concrete work but the split face material (siding carry down from the wood frame wall) is showing on the concrete wall. Is there a way to turn off this split face material? Or is there a way to bring the sidinging down and leave the wall core material at the top of the concrete? Not sure if I am explaining it clearly. Thank you all in advance.

To revert to the original surface pattern, use the paint tool set to "By Category".

To lower the siding, select wall properties, Edit, Edit Structure, Preview, Section Modify Type Attributes, Select layer, Modify, hover cursor over lower edge till padlock appears, click on it to unlock, OK, OK, Enter Base Extension Distance, OK.

Sounds complicated, but its not too bad.
