**Division Profile** – apply the pre-loaded profile and settings to part edges along dividers.

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

**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.

**End Connection** – predefine sheathing settings for floor end connections.

**Layer Extension** – distance from floor face.

*Example: For the free end connection, **Layer Extension** = 20:*

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

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