**Paneling Configuration** – allows you to configure and save settings for the paneling layouts. These settings can be saved and linked with floor layer using **Link Floor**.

Using **Paneling Configuration** you can predefine insulation and paneling setting for your Revit project.

Insulation or panels are created using Revit **Parts**. In order to see the panels or insulation, you have to select **Show Parts** or Show Both in **View Properties** → **Parts Visibility**.

### Special Layout

**Horizontal/Vertical Gap** – specifies the distance between divided horizontal and vertical parts. The default value is 0, which results in no gap.

Note that if **Always Try to Merge Parts** is ticked ON, Gap will not be applicable.

**Horizontal/Vertical Division Profile** – apply the pre-loaded profile you select from the drop-down list to part edges along dividers. The default value is None.

**Horizontal/Vertical Profile Edge Mirrored** – specify how the profiles on the other side of a divider gap will be oriented.

### **Mark Settings**

![](https://239424168-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FqtUsszuAWXIZhQhrvjnb%2Fuploads%2FdCzjvrQCGSF54dBN8csh%2F16.jpeg?alt=media)

**Mark Settings** – predefine default values for these parameters. The parameters can be later used in schedules and tags.

![](https://239424168-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FqtUsszuAWXIZhQhrvjnb%2Fuploads%2FWIkfpbSwro6RyPXVkuY3%2F17.jpeg?alt=media)

**Part Detail Configuration** and **Framing Configuration** – you can predefine default configurations to be added to every part.

Detail configuration comes from [**Smart Connections**](https://docs.besmart.software/3d-modeling-and-design/smart-connections). **Smart Connections** can instantly add any number of face-specific intelligent details – which adapt to host-element changes – throughout BIM models.

*Example: Insulation fasteners are automatically added to every insulation:*

**Build in Place** – writes Yes/No information into the panel instance parameter if it is build-in-place or is prefabricated with whole floor frame. Later this parameter can be used in schedules or view filters.

<figure><img src="https://239424168-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FqtUsszuAWXIZhQhrvjnb%2Fuploads%2F5rKMfDGoNe8odUX32WEB%2FanXV94nScByfyYVvVyvAoCT7X-b61G096A%20(1).png?alt=media&#x26;token=7851dc25-988a-4084-a0eb-762ea48d6714" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Excluded –** removes the panel (part) from the model. Excluded panels are only visible when under the cursor and will not be included in schedules.
