# How to frame double-stud wall (party wall)?

1. Create a wall type with two **Structure \[1]** layers in the wall core:

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note**: Make sure to use different material names in each of these layers.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**: if you're creating an air cavity between the stud layers, use **Thermal/Air Layer \[3]** in the Function column.
{% endhint %}

2. Select the wall instance, navigate to **Wall+M** and click on **Link Wall**:

3. Map the wall type layers with configurations. In the example below, the two stud layers are mapped with the same **Framing Configuration**:

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** you can map the two layers with different Framing Configurations if the stud arrangement, spacing or profile type sizes are different.
{% endhint %}

4. Press **OK** to save the settings and close the **Link Wall** dialogue
5. Select the wall instance(s) and click **Frame Wall**:
