# How to create one assembly/separate assemblies for identical frames?

If you have two or more identical frames that share identical geometry and framing layout, see the instructions below.

## Create one assembly for multiple identical frames

### 1. Modify Framing Configurations

1. Go to **Framing Configurations** > **Modify Settings**.
2. Check the box **Create Same Assembly for Same Geometry**: 

{% hint style="info" %}
Note: the box is checked by default.
{% endhint %}

### 2. Further steps

1. **Frame Walls/Floors/Roofs**
2. **Number Walls/Floor/Roofs**
3. **Number Elements**
4. Select frames and click **Create Assembly**:

{% hint style="warning" %}
Walls/Floors/Roofs still keep their **unique** numbering values in the **Mark** instance parameter.

For example, **W-46** **Assembly** represents walls **W-46**, **W-47**, etc and their numbering values don't change.
{% endhint %}

## Create separate assemblies for identical frames

### 1. Modify Framing Configurations

1. Go to **Framing Configurations** > **Modify Settings**.
2. Uncheck the box **Create Same Assembly for Same Geometry:**

### 2. Further steps

1. **Frame Walls/Floors/Roofs** (or Delete Frames and Re-Frame if you've already framed them)&#x20;
2. **Number Walls/Floor/Roofs**
3. **Number Elements**
4. Select frames and click **Create Assembly.**
