    Just show concrete walkout walls without pony wall attached.

    I want to just show the concrete foundation in a perspective view. This is a walkout basement. So I did the walkout walls as pony walls with the concrete foundation on the bottom and the 2x6 framed siding wall on the top. I just want to show the concrete part without the 2x6 framed siding wall showing. Just show concrete foundation with the footings. These drawings will be for my excavator. He then will be able to see the different cut elevations he needs to dig in 3-D. I can do that with the pony wall attached but I think it will be simpler if he just sees the concrete foundation. When I used to use SolidBuilder I would do this for the excavator and laminate the drawing for him to have in his machine. I would mark the different cuts for him on these drawings. We always got it right the first time.

    By using the layers you have and perhaps with some custom layers I am sure you can get the camera views that you need.

    Whether in plan or other views layering is always the key to communicate exactly what you need and want.
