**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" %}
You can use other families only in special cases. [**Contact us** ](https://helpdesk.agacad.com/support/tickets/new)[**to submit a support ticket.**](https://helpdesk.besmart.software/support/tickets/new)

**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.

# 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 dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.besmart.software/3d-modeling-and-design/metal-framing/feature-descriptions/wall-metal-framing/framing-configuration/common-settings/configuration-settings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
