    Pony wall blocks view of doors & windows

    I have a pony wall that has a door and some windows in the lower half. In plan view, it seems that the upper part of the pony wall is obscuring them, but when I click on the part of the wall that they are in, I can select them. And they show up fine in 3d... I wish I could put the upper part of the wall on a layer and not show it in 2d... Is there something that I'm missing?

    Thanks,
    Ben

    Ben,

    Do you want to show the lower pony wall in plan mode? Go to wall defaults and select show lower pony wall. This is in version 10.

    Yes! That was it!
    I must have glanced at that little check box a hundred times...
    Now I can see my doors and windows. Thank you very much Louis!

    Allen42acj,
    I think what you might be looking at is the "Wall Specification" box, not the default box. Am I correct? You can get to the "Wall Defaults" box by double-clicking on the Wall tool in the toolbar.

    I remember that one!

    That needs to be able to be set on a wall by wall basis. I've already suggested it.

    You have until you release the drawing to get it right, Mother Nature and the Customer have forever to see if you did. (By me, 1971. )

    For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled. Last sentence in the Feynman Appendix to the Challenger Report by R. Feynman

    Never allow those who would substitute intimidation and guilt trips for knowledge and reason to influence your technical judgement. Me, 1993.

    Sounds good at first but.
    That might be confussing when reading a print.
    Maybe 2 sets in different colors.
