### **Edit Opening Framing Configuration**

In order to edit, create new, rename, or delete opening framing configuration, you have to click **Edit Configuration** for the structural or non-structural walls:

![](https://239424168-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FqtUsszuAWXIZhQhrvjnb%2Fuploads%2FXiPlGN2RAJi96J2EG51x%2F2.jpeg?alt=media)

Default configurations will come together with the software. Default path to opening configurations is:

*<mark style="color:blue;">C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Tools 4 Revit\Wall+(version) Configurations\Framing Configurations\Metric or Imperial\Configuration name\\</mark>*

It saves all the settings of kings, headers, top supports, sills, trimmers, other studs that are listed down below in the dialog:

**King Stud**

**King Stud** – in this tab you will find all settings for creating king studs needed for the opening.

**Kings are symmetrical –** switch this *OFF* if kings should be different in the left and right sides.

**Custom Join** – is a multi-functional dialog where user can define rules for 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 find more about **Custom Join**](https://docs.besmart.software/3d-modeling-and-design/wood-framing/common/wood-metal-framing/custom-join)

### Cripples

**Top and Bottom Cripples are Equal** – if ticked OFF, then two tabs appears which allows to control top and bottom cripples separately.

**Define Top Cripples Studs/Joists by Spacing –** if ticked ON, then you can predefine **Spacing Type** and **Spacing of Top Cripple Studs/Joists**. If unticked, then the software calculates the distance between top cripples automatically. You just need to define a **Number of Top Cripple Studs/Joists**.

**Spacing Type –** defines different spacing arrangement options:

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** ***Define Top Cripples Studs/Joists by Spacing** will work if **Automatically Align Opening Cripples with Studs** is switched OFF near **Common Settings**. If it is ticked ON, then the cripples will be aligned with the main framing studs.*
