Or:
**Frame Wall** – frames selected walls or parts from the model according to predefined configuration.
## First time framing walls ### Load families The first time you click **Frame Wall** in a new project, you will get a message that the framing families are not loaded. You can load them directly from here:
Click OK:
Framing families can be also loaded using **Wall+M** → **Settings** → **Load Families**:
[**Read more about how to Load Families**](https://docs.besmart.software/3d-modeling-and-design/metal-framing/wall-metal-framing/load-families) ### Link wall **Wall+M** checks the status of selected walls. If there is something wrong with the walls, you will get a detailed report. In the image below, you can see possible report messages. *Let's solve the problem of a selected wall type:*
*To fix these kinds of problems, you usually need to go to **Link Wall** and check the situation:*
***The wall type** has framing possibility disabled, so you just need to select the checkbox near the **Frame** column:*
*There is no problem if framing configuration in not assigned to the layer. You can assign it in the **Link Wall** dialog, or **Wall+M** will give you this option during the **Frame Wall** process:*
*Selected a sample framing configuration, which automatically comes with **Wall+M,** and click OK:*
*Result:*

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/feature-descriptions/wall-metal-framing/frame-wall/add-main-frame.md?ask=&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.
