I have created a wall type with a small amount of stone on the front and would like to have the stone show up on the floor plan in addition to the siding. Is it possible to this?

 

Thank you,

Not in addition to ... to show the stone, INSTEAD of the siding, you can adjust the DISPLAY HEIGHT, so It cuts through the stone.

 

As a workaround you could have a NONE Material show as a single line on the line of the outside of the stone, but full height.

 

Personally I always adjust the DISPLAY HEIGHT to show the stone. There's less chance of anchor bolts and framing being in the wrong place on site.

_Hi,

_{Can I use "DISPLAY HEIGHT" with V.14? I can't see where that option is.}

Can't remember whether that is in v14 ... I suspect not. However it's here in 2016, in the wall definition.

Not sure if display height was available in version 14 (might be hard for most people to answer because not to many people have version 14 still available). If it's available, see the centre column on the wall definition in the attached file. Presently, it's at default 44.5"
If you check the box, then you can enter a different display height. Your display height is shown by an horizontal dotted line on the wall section.

Hi, Yvon, Thanks for pointing that out. Then "Display Height" is not an option with v.14.

 

I keep putting off upgrading because v.14 still does 95% of what I need and it's hard to justify the cost for the extra 5%!

True but your 95% would be more efficient. It would take a little getting use to but worth it. There is always a danger that some things might not work properly or be supported when your to many versions behind. Not sure for example if when you have to update to Windows 10 (or more recent of the program you're using) if it will have an impact or not?
