# 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**:&#x20;

{% 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.**

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.besmart.software/3d-modeling-and-design/metal-framing/faq/shop-drawings/how-to-create-one-assembly-separate-assemblies-for-identical-frames.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
