# Split Elements
### Split Elements
**Split Elements** – features for splitting studs, plates, bridging/nogging elements by different rules.
### Split Top/Bottom Plates Automatically
**Split Top/Bottom Plates Automatically** – splits top or bottom plates for selected wall according to predefined settings in **Framing Configuration**.
Split settings come from **Configs** → **Framing Configuration** → **Common Settings** → **Modify Configuration Settings** tab:
**Minimal/Maximal Length of Split Plate** – predefines min/max length for splitting top/bottom plates.
Also, pay attention to **Offset Distance of Split** setting in **Configs** → **Framing Configuration** → **Common Settings** → **Modify Configuration Settings** tab:
**Offset Distance of Split** – defines splitting distance for selected top/bottom plate from selected stud.
*Example: Top/bottom plate is split with distance "0":*
### Split Top/Bottom Plates Automatically for All Frames
**Split Top/Bottom Plates Automatically for All Frames** – splits top or bottom plates for all walls in the current project according to predefined settings in **Framing Configuration**.
### Delete Splits
**Delete Splits** – resets selected wall plates to original length before splitting.
*Example: Top plates were split...*
*...after using **Delete Splits**, the top plates are whole again:*
### Split Top/Bottom Plate Manually

1. *Select a stud which will split top/bottom plate;*
2. *Select a top or bottom plate which will be split.*
Also, pay attention to **Offset Distance of Split** parameter in **Framing Configuration** → **Common Settings** → **Modify Configuration Settings** tab:
**Offset Distance of Split** – defines splitting distance for selected top/bottom plate from selected stud.
*Example: Top/bottom plate is split with distance "0":*
### Split Bridging/Nogging
