Wall Views not Consistant

Post by Rob Perry »

Hi All

I just started working on a project & First I added windows & Doors to the walls.

Then I proceed to make a couple cutouts in one wall But when in Wall Cutout screen the wall in question is viewed from the Back But in the place door/Window screen it is viewed from the front.

It makes it very confusing when trying to make the cutouts from the Back of the wall. Should these not both be viewed from the front?

I have never noticed this issue before.

Am I doing something wrong?

You didn't by any chance change the build direction before you went to make your cutout :?:

When you are in wall view/ elevation make sure the wall view section on the left says front

oops !! I forgot about posting the job file. I'll try to post it soon.
I've actually noticed this on another job I am working right now as well.
I do remember when laying out the walls on my current job I had to change build direction of one wall in and when attempting a cutout it to is backwards but only when in wall cutout mode.
