**Use for all Framing Elements (except Openings)** – if ON, then the selected Stud and Plate families will be used for other framing elements, like connections, bridgings, noggings, etc. without an option to change it to a custom family.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Main Type of Studs** (or **Plates**) – pick a family and type for the Studs or Plates.

Sample stud and plate families come with **Wall+M**:

&#x20;\- For **C+C system** − *M\_MF C+C Stud* and *M\_MF C+C Plate*

&#x20;\- For **C+C Chamfered system** − *M\_MF C+C\_CH Stud* and *M\_MF C+C\_CH Plate*

&#x20;\- For **C+U system** − *M\_MF Stud-Joist* and *M\_MF Track M* goes for Metric system, *I* goes for Imperial.

**DO NOT MIX THE FAMILIES**
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}

**Width (b)** – shows the width, b, parameter value of the selected family type.

**Depth (h, d)** – shows the depth, h or d, parameter value of the selected family type.

**Define Depth (h, d) by Layer Thickness** – the software will create a new type for the selected family and change the depth value to the wall layer thickness so that the frames will fit the layer in the wall.
