Is there a way that you can make a composite wall look like a basic wall when you create the extraction? There have been some projects that I have worked on that Compsoite wall would be the best wall to use. Although we don't use them due to the fact that all the parts in the wall show up when we make the extraction. is there anyway we can use the composite wall but when we make the extraction the composit wall looks like it was a single wall?
we currently are using: Bentley Architectural V8 XM Version 08.09.03.37
ok. I'll try to unify the parts to see if that works. Would there be anyway to mask the walls to show how I'm wanting it to look like?
Just remember that in order to unify, all components of that wall assembly must touch - no gaps as Robert mentioned - and they must all use a common unifier part.
In regards to "masking" the assembly to show something else, not possible AFAIK. But I think this is similar to what Bentley Structural and Building Mechanical Systems do with single line drawing rules; i.e., completely replacing the 3D appearance of an object with something else altogether. Perhaps this is something that will be feasible down the road as Architecture takes advantage of DV based drawing rules....
