Displaying Walls around Projects

SketchList 3D allows you to view a project with walls around it to get a better sense of the design. This can be helpful if you are designing a large project, such as a kitchen. By default, the walls are opaque, but you can make them transparent or hide the walls closest to you so that you can see into the project.

Showing and hiding walls around a project

To view a project with walls around it:

  1. Make sure you are viewing the Project level of your design. If you are not, select Project Level in the Hierarchical Levels area.
  2. Right-click anywhere in the Views area.
  3. Choose Show Walls from the menu that appears.

If you right-click in the view again, you'll see a checkmark next to the Show Walls command. To hide the walls, right-click in the view window and choose Show Walls again to uncheck the command.

Making walls transparent

By default, walls around a project are opaque. To make them transparent:

  1. Make sure you are viewing the Project level of your design. If you are not, select Project Level in the Hierarchical Levels area.
  2. Right-click anywhere in the Views area.
  3. Choose Transparent Walls from the menu that appears.

If you right-click in the view again, you'll see a checkmark next to the Transparent Walls command. To make the walls opaque, simply right-click in the view window and choose Transparent Walls again to uncheck the command.

Auto-hiding walls

To hide the walls closest to you to make it easier to see into a project:

  1. Make sure you are viewing the Project level of your design. If you are not, select Project Level in the Hierarchical Levels area.
  2. Right-click anywhere in the Views area.
  3. Choose Autohide Walls from the menu that appears.

The walls closest to you disappear. If you rotate the project in the Perspective view, SketchList automatically adjusts the walls.

If you right-click in the view again, you'll see a checkmark next to the Autohide Walls command. To show all the walls, simply right-click in the view window and choose Autohide Walls again to uncheck the command.
