Structural Elements inside Walls

[chriscooper]

I keep running across the problem of when I cut a section across a wall with a structural element in it I don't get to see the structural member due to the wall 'not being invisible'.

In Plan this same wall shows structural members/columns in it but in section it doesn't. The only way I can find around it is to edit the cut profile and cut out the structural element boundary so I can see it, not much fun when there is a heap of members.

The wall type is a metal clad wall. I provide structural drawings for the wall girts. I thought of just making the wall the external cladding but then the doors and windows don't sit in the right position.

Anybody got any suggestions.

Chris:

Try setting your display mode to "wireframe". You will definately see everything but it might be more than what you want - you may need to alter some of your linework to invisible, hidden, etc. Good luck.

Yes, I am aware of that way but the way I have been doing it seems better than that.....

Set your view to "Fine", Revit default for structural elements is "Coarse" and it will only show a line.
