Hello, I have a wall composed of stone slabs, insulation, brick (structural) and gypsum, for example.
This walls is unified in the section. Is it possible that these walls are in different levels in the section? Now I just want to see the structural wall (bricks- structural). I do not want to see all the parts of the wall (stone slabs, insulation and gymsum).
Each wall uses the symbology of the unifier part and not the symbology the each wall.
I can put each part of the wall in a different model (for example: facade, structural and interior) , but then, the windows and doors, it do not perforate all parts of the wall, only one model.
Thank you.

If I understand you correctly - I keep all parts of my walls in the same files - I divide up by areas - Exterior Walls - Interior Walls, Stairs, etc.
If the parts are each defined well and the levels you use are defined (ie Strucutral, Walls, etc.)
Then you would be able to make only structural show in a model and the inherant window would cut into the wall but be cut off in levels.
Then to show - if a Structural wall - is at different levels (steps in height) it would depend on where you do your section cut or DV. If you cut in the middle of both they will not show a step - as at that point there is no step. However if you cut from above it will show the step. Some of the "faking" we do by hand still might have to be done.
Note there might be a trick. Many times I don't unify concrete - for example - as in there might be a control joint there. So in your case. where the step is - is there maybe a control joint every time? If so - don't unify.

Hello Eric, thank you for your help.
I explain the problem in the pdf. If only active level structural wall, the problem is that the section is not reset.
See pdf.
Thank you
I'm not sure that I completely understand the problem, but, if you are using a common unifier then all wall layers will take on that unifier's symbology. I understand you only want to see one layer in this wall assembly, so perhpas that layer should have a unique unifier part?
From what I understand - and I may not be understanding.
You create a DV with only the concrete wall "ON"
You then create a section lets say -
below the Window and you get one rectable all sides thick and hatched - OK????
thru the windows and you get two rectangles - Looks like forward view is off or not updated in your DV
When Unified - I can bet it is an issue with the UNIFIER PART or your ACTUAL PART DEFINITION
What happen if you put two solid peices of concrete - butt to butt - do they unify properly?
Perhaps I did not explain well. Summary.
My exterior wall has a structural layer.
I need a plan section with DV where all layers of the wall are in unified section.
I need another drawing with DV where I can see only the structural layer of the wall.
In the Dataset Explorer:
If the unifying part has "the cut plane unifying view attributes" is ON then level, color, style and weight are the same for all layers of the wall.
If the unifying part has "the cut unifying view attributes" is OFF then level, color, style and weight does not depend unifying part. In this case I might indicate a different level to the structural layer. The section is unified but each layer of the wall may be on a different level.
Then I can turn off all level except the structural wall level.
In this case I only see the structural wall section, but the section is not restored (the other layers of the wall are no longer displayed) and missing lines thick at the junction with the walls of other layers of the wall.
Other solutions:
If the wall layers are unified with itself, this problem does not exist. But I need see all layer of the wall unified in the section.
If each layer of the wall is in differents models, then this problem does not exist but then is not a compound wall.
Regards.
