    Show framing in Glass House mode

    Is there a way to turn on framing to show in Glass House mode, especially floor framing?

    I have had several instances where attempting to show an owner how a remodel project is affected by existing framing and cannot seem to locate how to illustrate this even if I build the existing plan into my Chief model.

    Normal Glass House shows relationship of floors and other rooms, but framing of those is also a critical aspect.

    Take a framing view and then change to glass house view.

    The videos we watch are not 100% gold, but if we find a gold nugget, the time spent viewing has a value.

    We can please some of the people some of the time, but we can't please all the people all of the time..... but I will keep trying.

    Yes You Can, If you want only the framing to show, do as Scott said. If you want the framing to show inside the standard glass house overview, take a full overview, hit glass house mode, then open your layer display options dialog box, and put a check mark next to all the framing members in the "Display" collumn.
