# Wall Framing
**Framing Configuration** may be found in two locations:
or:
### Wall Framing
**Wall Framing** – here you can control regular studs (**Vertical Stud** tab), top (**Top Plate** tab) plates and bottom (**Bottom Plate** tab) plates:
### Add Studs
**Add Studs –** adds studs with rules listed below to the frame. The frame can be created without studs, just using, for example, horizontal elements.
### Align with Project Base Point
**Align with Project Base Point –** allows studs to be positioned not only in relation to each other but according to Revit gridlines.
Studs are positioned on the gridlines – and where necessary to fill in gaps or form intersections – so that they always match up across a corridor or room.
Notice how the studs are spaced according to the grid:
First step – unclip the state of the Revit **Project Base Point** and move it to the needed position:
For more convenience, switch on Revit **Work Plane** and move it to the **Project Base Point**. It will help you to understand if the studs or joists are created in the right position:
Turn on **Align with Project Base Point** in the **Framing Configuration** dialog:
Frame the walls, floors, or roof:
In the case you need to relocate the frame, just move the **Project Base Point** to the new position and update the frame!
### Stud Spacing and First/Last Spacing
**Stud Spacing** – defines the distance between the studs.
**First/Last Spacing** is dependent on the exterior side of wall as shown below. The beginning of the armament starts from the left side looking from the exterior side of a wall.
**First/Last Spacing** – first spacing will be on the side of the left side, and last on the right side.
### Custom Layout
**Custom Layout** – is a multi-functional dialog where user can define rules for studs including size, count, position, rotation, spacing, alignment etc.
{% hint style="info" %}
All these rules can be saved and used in other framing configurations or shared with other users. This [type of dialog is used frequently in our products, so here you can find **Custom Layout detailed description**](https://agacad.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/44001990031-custom-join)[**.**](https://docs.besmart.software/3d-modeling-and-design/metal-framing/common/wood-metal-framing/custom-join)
{% endhint %}
### Sloped and Non-Sloped Plates are symmetrical
**Sloped and Non-Sloped Plates are symmetrical** – define if top/bottom plates should be the same for sloped and non sloped plates.
*Sloped top plates:*
*Non-sloped bottom plates:*
### Cut Type
**Cut Type –** select top/bottom plate cutting type.
*Example: when **Plate Cut Studs** is selected:*
### Number of Elements not to Cut
**Number of Elements not to Cut** – if there is at least one bottom plate, you can cut it or leave it as a whole.
### Top Cover/Bottom Pad
**Top/Bottom Pad** will be added above/below the main frame.
### Offsets
**Offset** – frame offsets from wall top or bottom.
