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**:
