How to adjust wall thickness?

[John Pallett]

Hi Martin --

If you're doing professional or semi-professional work, make sure to look at the features of Home Designer Pro or Chief Architect (www.chiefarchitect.com) -- both have fully customizable wall layers, as well as a wide range of other professional-grade tools such as Chief has layer management, multi page layouts, photo realistic ray-tracing, etc.

Thanks.

Here are the Steps to create a 400 mm thick wall with no layers:

1) Draw a wall

2) Change the wall type to Wood Frame 450mm OC

3) Change the thickness to 400 mm.

While the brick cavity wall is a common wall type, the one we have included is not the exact wall type you desire. As you stated yourself this has changed just this year.

PRO 7 will allow you to create a custom wall type that will give you the exact layer control to produce the layered wall type you are after. The thickness function only applies to the wood frame wall and is grayed out in all our products when you have a layered wall type selected.

What we have found as we have expanded into various markets around the world is that there are litterally unlimited vairiations in construction tecniques and wall types.
