Show internal liner and external insulation on same duct

Is it possible to show duct with internal liner and duct external wrap at the same time?

I know that we ran into the same issue a while back and could not get both to show up.   We ended up drawing the duct run then copying it over 10'-0" and changing the liner to wrap, the Cut Type to "Draw Only" and the Status to "Hold" (all this to make sure it didn't get double ordered).  Then we moved the run back on top of the original so it showed both wrap & liner.  Kind of a hassle but it worked.
60% of the time it works every time...

Place all the "dummy" ducts on a unique layer and after finished drawing it, isolate that layer and use the multi-property tool and SET all of those ducts to BOUGHT OUT, this will also prevent CAMing it if by chance you forget to turn layer OFF when it comes time to CAM the job...
