View directions.

  • Hi.


    I was making a new project, with concrete sandwich walls and I was wondering, what if one would want to have the view direction as the inside of the outside walls. But when I tried to change view direction, the outside plate became inside and vice verca. And I also tried all combinations (I think) of wall input directions and right-left / left/right input directions. But nothing seemed to give that the view direction would be inside.


    I was thinking maybe, I would need to define my wall properties for such a project, so that I change the order of layers. I haven't tried this - do you think that is the only solution??

    There is no reason to have the view direction from inside and we recommend to keep the view direction from outside.
    If you change the view direction (which is possible) you have to change the order of the layers (this is logical).

  • Yes, there is a reason. They cast the concrete sandwich elements, with the outside plate down in the form and they want the wall element numbers to show to the inside of these elements. As far as I remember wall names are put on the drawings, on the view side.


    It is not difficult of course to just move these names to the inside and to make wall drawings seen from back side. But the other would be a little more easier.
