Question By A Revit User
i have an elevation view where I'd like to show the studs, which I've inserted as extruded components "created in place". I don't want all the other walls to disappear, so I don't want to set the visibility to hide all walls. I only want to hide the wall the shows the particular stud spacing.Problem is that I created some braces for a second floor deck by editing a wall to get a 45 degree brace, now when I hide walls the braces also disappear. I'd like to show the relationship between the bracing and the studs.
