Hi,

Try doing that from "Floor Plan and Section" -> "Structure" -> "Cut Fill" in the settings of your wall (see the attached image).

Hope that helps,

I'm not sure I fully understood what you meant by that. If you are referring to changing the thickness of each skin, then try duplicating the composite structure and see if the new one can be edited.

That is strange... It's true that when I close both tabs ("Edit Skin and Line Structure" and "Edit Selected Items"), it shows like in your image ("Edit Selected Items" is greyed and cannot be modified). But when I click on "Edit Skin and Line Structure", it becomes active and it behaves normal. Also make sure you have one skin or line selected (although this happens by default).

I tried selecting 1 skin or line but the problem persist.

I don't think so (or at least nothing in the work environment that could be related to this issue comes into my mind). One last thing ... try opening a new (blank) project, using the default template and see if the problem persists.
Maybe someone else here has any other ideas?

Cheers,

Is it possible to add plaster by modifying the wall and columns as a complex profile and changing the skin priorities of the plaster in complex profile window?
will i get a correct floor plan display?
