To Specify the Display of Other Characteristics of a Wall

Use this procedure to specify display properties for an individual wall that apply only in display representations such as Plan, that are used in the Top view (plan view) of a drawing. These properties include whether to display complex endcaps, to show door and window frames, or to show the miter of specific wall components.

2. On the Properties palette, click the Display tab.
3. Under the General category, for Display component, verify that *NONE* is selected.

5. For Display representation, verify that the desired display representation is selected.
6. If necessary, expand Object Display Properties Advanced.
