Shear wall problems

[Tom Weir]

Hi all,
I have made a wall type to represent a 6" wood shear wall assembly. It has the stud and the sheathing. It also has double top and bottom 2X6 plates (as sweeps). But the section is not showing the double plate, only a single plate. IT shows correctly in 3D though.
What I really wanted was a good section view to reduce my work in the detailing. Anybody got any suggestions? I think it is great to be able to draw the whole assembly at the same time....if I can get it to display correctly.

Have a great day...

Tom,

The only other alternative that you can use is the split region tool in the wall editor instead of using sweeps. This will show your top and bottom plates but the only downfall is that the plate lines will not show up on 3d views.
