# Main Features
### Sheathing and Paneling Layouts
**Wood Framing Wall+** automates the creation of sheathing and paneling layouts. Sheathing or paneling layouts can be generated and split by existing studs, joists, or other predefined rules.
### Before you start
Sheathing or paneling is created using Revit **Parts**.
In order to see the sheathing or paneling, you have to select **Show Parts** or **Show Both** in **View Properties → Parts Visibility**.
In the **Element Properties** you can find all information about every created sheathing/paneling segment. This information can later be used in tags and schedules.
### Split Parts
**Split Parts** – splits sheathing or paneling into segments by predefined **Sheathing Configuration** or **Paneling Configuration**. You just need to select a wall or any frame of a wall.
{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** *In order to see the sheathing, switch on **Show Parts** or **Show Both** under **Parts Visibility** in the **View Properties**.*
{% endhint %}
Sheathing or Paneling will be split if selected wall layer will have the conditions below in **Link Wall**:
**Framing Layer** predefined as **Sheathing**, **Sheathing II**, or **Paneling**.
**Sheathing/Paneling Configuration** name selected. It saves all settings for the sheathing/paneling layouts.
**Split Parts** is ticked.
**Split Parts** – select if parts need to be split after using **Split Parts** function or should be split later. This is very useful if there are many layers in the wall, for example, two sheathing/paneling layers and you want to split only one.
### Update Part Parameters
**Update Part Parameters** - updates part parameters from **Sheathing/Paneling Configuration** → **Mark Settings** without needing to use **Split Parts** on the wall or again. Also enters **HostMemberSortMark** parameter.
### Number Parts
or:
**Number Parts** - renumbers all sheathing/paneling elements (Parts) by predefined configuration in **Numbering Setup** → **Part Numbering Configuration**. Part numbering configurations come from [**Sort Mark**](https://docs.besmart.software/2d-drafting-and-documentation/smart-documentation/numbering-sort-mark)
*Example: All sheathing/paneling elements (Parts) are grouped by **Framing Member Mark**, uniquely numbered, and have **Framing Member Mark** value as a prefix. Result is written to the **Mark** instance parameter.* [*Read more about Sort Mark here*](https://docs.besmart.software/2d-drafting-and-documentation/smart-documentation/numbering-sort-mark)
### Sheathing Configuration
**Sheathing Configuration** – allows user to configure and save settings for the sheathing layouts. These settings can be saved and linked with wall layer using **Link Wall**.
