## 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**:

### 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:*
