Bond Beam for Aerated Concrete Blocks

[davemurray]

I am using HD Pro 2014.

I am using a concrete block as a framing material. I want to show a bond beam layer in the wall. I have found I can do this by defining a pony wall with the lower section normal blocks, and a top layer as a different block to represent the bond beam. Works ok (though the material list quantities always defy my logic).

Is there a better or more efficient way to do this? I do not want to find later this method leads to other problems.

I assume also that any embedded rebar or joist hangars on the bond beam will need to be drawn manually?
