Walls
Before framing walls, you need to create wall types with layers and model the walls correctly. Follow the guide below.
1. Create wall type layers
Drywall and other finish layers should have Finish 1, Finish 2 or Substrate function
The main studs are hosted inside the Structure layer which has to be the Core Layer (layer between the two Core Boundaries)
Each layer must have a defined Function, Material and Thickness
Suggestion: Structure [1] layer thickness should match the Web depth (d) of you studs. For example, if your studs are 89mm, the Structure [1] layer should have the same thickness.
You can create as many layers as you wish.
For double drywall or other finish layers, each Material name must be unique.
2. Model walls
2.1 Wall connections (joins)
It's important to model wall connections (L, V, End and T) correctly.
2.2 Insert openings
Model walls with windows, doors and other openings.
2.3 Prefab walls (optional)
You can split long walls into panels with gaps, use Smart Walls:
3. Use clash detection (optional)
To avoid clashes and create openings in walls/floors/roofs for services (ducts, pipes) use Cut Opening.
You can also use Cut Opening after framing is modeled. Learn more.
