How does one work inside of a building using the ARCH workbench.
Attached is a copy of a model that Yorick built for one of the ARCH tutorials.
I was able to hide the roof slab, roof beam array, and the horizontal section plane so I could access the floor slab.
The question is "How do I access the inside wall using the rear view (4)?" I cannot hide the rear wall.

Salut
You have to use the function "place a sketch on a face: clik on the face and " new sketch: you see that the XY axes are at the foot of the wall, you have to turn by pressing the mouse wheel to place the view slightly Isometric, you can draw on the wall and see what you're doing

Re: ARCH - Working inside of a building
meme2704,
I did some additional experimentation and found that by breaking up the single wall (the four walls in the tutorial joined into one) into its constituent parts allows me to hide a wall and directly get to the window and door objects from inside.
I would use this technique to place interior features such as electrical switches and plugs, smoke detectors on the ceiling, etc.
However, I found that it is best to add wall features (windows, doors, ...) when the walls are not aggregated into a single wall. When I tried to to the "arch remove" on yorick's model, the rendering of the window and door disappeared. So i recreated the yorick model from scratch and added the window and door to the front wall while the walls were decomposed into the constituents. I can now group the walls and ungroup them as necessary.
Is this the accepted way of accomplishing this task?

Re: ARCH - Working inside of a building
If your need is to place items of technical supplies (switches, plugs etc ..), there is the possibility of placing them outside the walls and to make them change their placement to get them through the walls and see them appear inside.
Otherwise, your solution is good, to make each wall independent, to hide the others, and to place on each the doors, windows, and other objects of arrangement, and in the end, to merge to have a construction "monobloc"
