Layer Keying custom AEC Wall Types

[dwe61]

I cannot get my DEMO Walls and EXISTING Walls to default to the DEMO Layer and EXISTING Layer. All of my walltypes go to the NEW Wall Layer. Same thing with all my Custom DOOR Styles and WINDOW Styles. Any Suggestions?

Create the DEMO keys, then map the Demo tools to the new keys. See attached.

Just create a separate Material for each type of wall you have (i.e. a DEMO and EXISTING Material) and assign each material to that layer.

When you select a wall it will still state that it is on the A-Wall Layer, however that is only the shrinkwrap. If you isolate, say your DEMO layer, all the walls that have the DEMO Material assigned to them will be displayed.
And the color of internal components of those walls, if set to ByLayer, should have the same color as is assigned to that layer.
