Hi, I have a simple plan sort of like the ASCII above (I'm having trouble getting it formatted right, but the text should explain) . In the picture above, I show a large room and then a small room which has an interior wall. The large and small rooms share an external wall shown in the diagram as the left wall. I wish to make this external wall use different types of siding, on each side of the interior wall, so that the small room has a different external siding that the large room. How do I accomplish this ?

twincreeks:
Please study up on how to create different wall definitions in the manual. All the information you should need is there. If you are using X5 and have SSA, watch all the videos on walls. Also, study up on pony walls ... where you can have one type of material on a wall over a different material below it. Learn how to place breaks in a wall so that you can have a different material showing on one side of the break and a different material on the other side (I believe this may be what you need to do to answer your question above). If you are still having trouble after doing the research I am recommending, come back here again and ask for more help. Good luck.Curt Johnson

Changing the wall types is very easy. You simply break the wall and then select it and change it's definition. As Curt said, this is well documented in the help files.
In the future (and probably the present as well) a screen shot or hand drawn sketch showing what you are trying to accomplish would be more helpful than an ASCII drawing. I do not know if that is a section or a plan view. Breaking the wall vertically is very different than breaking the wall horizontally.alan lehman - Lehman Design Studio - Carmel, CA
