Use Short Noggings – makes short noggings between studs, instead of long ones.
Example with wood frame: Use Short Noggings is switched OFF:
Example with wood frame: Use Short Noggings is switched ON:

Custom Join – is a multi-functional dialog where user can define rules for studs/joins including size, count, position, rotation, spacing, alignment etc. 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 read more aboutt Custom Join detailed description
Rotate by Slope – rotates additional bridging/nogging/blocking by floor slope.

Unticked:
Select Line Based Element – adds blocking/nogging/bridging according to selected line-based element.
Offset from Selected Element – writes an offset for adding blocking/nogging/bridging from selected line-based element.
Example with wood frame: when Offset from Selected Element = 0, Select Line-Based Element = opening header:
Example: when Offset from Selected Element = 200, Select Line-Based Element = opening header:
Example with metal frame: when Offset from Selected Element = 0, Select Line-Based Element = opening header:
Example: when Offset from Selected Element = -200, Select Line-Based Element = opening header:
Split Studs/Joists – splits studs near inserted blocking/nogging/bridging.
Example with wood wall: when Split Studs/Joists is switched ON:
Note: Split Studs/Joists is available ONLY IF Use Short Noggings is switched OFF.
Example with wood floor: when Split Studs/Joists is switched ON:
Note: Split Studs/Joists is available ONLY IF Use Short Noggings is switched OFF.
Offset – predefines the offset rule (from shorter or longer stud end or base. This function works for studs that are not split.
It is especially used with sloped walls.
Stud end is at the top of the wall, and base is at the bottom of the wall.
Offset from Top/Bottom – predefines the offset from top or bottom of the stud.
Spacing – distance between blockings/noggings/bridgings.
Number – number of blockings/noggings/bridgings.
Example with wood frame:
Example with metal frame:
Measure to – measures the offset and spacing to bridging/nogging/blocking top/bottom or center.
