# Main Features
### Sheathing and Paneling Layouts
**Wood Framing Wall+** automates the creation of sheathing and paneling layouts. Sheathing or paneling layouts can be generated and split by existing studs, joists, or other predefined rules.
### Before you start
Sheathing or paneling is created using Revit **Parts**.
In order to see the sheathing or paneling, you have to select **Show Parts** or **Show Both** in **View Properties → Parts Visibility**.
In the **Element Properties** you can find all information about every created sheathing/paneling segment. This information can later be used in tags and schedules.
### Split Parts
**Split Parts** – splits sheathing or paneling into segments by predefined **Sheathing Configuration** or **Paneling Configuration**. You just need to select a wall or any frame of a wall.
{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** *In order to see the sheathing, switch on **Show Parts** or **Show Both** under **Parts Visibility** in the **View Properties**.*
{% endhint %}
Sheathing or Paneling will be split if selected wall layer will have the conditions below in **Link Wall**:
**Framing Layer** predefined as **Sheathing**, **Sheathing II**, or **Paneling**.
**Sheathing/Paneling Configuration** name selected. It saves all settings for the sheathing/paneling layouts.
**Split Parts** is ticked.
**Split Parts** – select if parts need to be split after using **Split Parts** function or should be split later. This is very useful if there are many layers in the wall, for example, two sheathing/paneling layers and you want to split only one.
### Update Part Parameters
**Update Part Parameters** - updates part parameters from **Sheathing/Paneling Configuration** → **Mark Settings** without needing to use **Split Parts** on the wall or again. Also enters **HostMemberSortMark** parameter.
### Number Parts
or:
**Number Parts** - renumbers all sheathing/paneling elements (Parts) by predefined configuration in **Numbering Setup** → **Part Numbering Configuration**. Part numbering configurations come from [**Sort Mark**](/2d-drafting-and-documentation/smart-documentation/numbering-sort-mark.md)
*Example: All sheathing/paneling elements (Parts) are grouped by **Framing Member Mark**, uniquely numbered, and have **Framing Member Mark** value as a prefix. Result is written to the **Mark** instance parameter.* [*Read more about Sort Mark here*](/2d-drafting-and-documentation/smart-documentation/numbering-sort-mark.md)
### Sheathing Configuration
**Sheathing Configuration** – allows user to configure and save settings for the sheathing layouts. These settings can be saved and linked with wall layer using **Link Wall**.
[**Read more about Sheathing Configuration here**](/3d-modeling-and-design/wood-framing/wall-wood-framing/sheating-and-paneling-layouts/sheathing-configuration.md)
### Paneling Configuration
**Paneling Configuration** – allows you to configure and save settings for the paneling layouts. These settings can be saved and linked with wall layer using **Link Wall**.
[**Read more about Paneling Configuration here**](/3d-modeling-and-design/wood-framing/wall-wood-framing/sheating-and-paneling-layouts/paneling-configuration.md)
### Modify Sheathing/Paneling
**Modify Sheathing/Paneling** – changes selected wall layer sheathing/paneling configuration to the new one from the list.
### Split Part by Selection
**Split Part by Selection** – splits selected sheathing/paneling layout by predefined placement direction: **From Start**, **From End**, or **From both Sides**.
### Part Assembly Menu
or:
**Part Assembly Menu –** features for creating assemblies from parts and different part selection options.
[**Read more about Part Assembly Menu here**](/3d-modeling-and-design/wood-framing/wall-wood-framing/shop-drawings/part-assembly-menu.md)
### Reset Parts predefined to Split
**Reset Parts predefined to Split –** resets sheathing/paneling layout to a single part.
### Reset Parts not predefined to be Framed
**Reset Parts not predefined to be Framed** – resets sheathing/paneling parts that were not predefined to be framed.
### Reset All Parts
**Reset All Parts** – resets all sheathing/paneling layouts from selected wall.
### Apply Extensions for Parts
**Apply Extensions for Parts** – applies extensions for sheathing/paneling parts and merges all part segments. Extension values come from **Sheathing** or **Paneling Configuration**.
