# Sheathing Configuration
or:
**Sheathing Configuration** – allows you to configure and save settings for sheathing layouts. These settings can be saved and linked with wall layer using **Link Wall**.
### Sheathing Dimensions
**Sheathing Dimensions** – predefine vertical and horizontal sheathing sizes (Width and Length).
### Sheathing Layout
**Sheathing Layout** – predefine settings for Inner and Outer sheathing layers.

### Division Profile
**Division Profile** – apply the pre-loaded profile and settings to part edges along dividers.
**Horizontal/Vertical Gap** – specifies the distance between divided horizontal and vertical parts. The default value is 0, which results in no gap.
**Horizontal/Vertical Division Profile** – apply the pre-loaded profile you select from the drop-down list to part edges along dividers. The default value is None.
**Horizontal/Vertical Profile Edge Mirrored** – specify how the profiles on the other side of a divider gap will be oriented.
### Mark Settings
**Mark Settings** – predefine default values for these parameters for later use in schedules and tags.
### Opening
**Opening** – predefine top, bottom, left, and right sheathing offsets from a window, door, or other opening.
### L Connection, V Connection, End Connection, T Connection
**L Connection, V Connection, End Connection, T Connection** – predefine sheathing settings for different wall connections.
**Layer Extension** – distance from a wall face.
*Example: For the free end connection, **Layer Extension** = 150:*
**Split at Stud** – define the number of studs where the sheathing must be split.
*Example: **Split at Stud** = 1:*
**Build in Place** – writes Yes/No information into the sheathing instance parameter if it is build-in-place or is prefabricated with the whole wall frame. This parameter can later be used in schedules or view filters.
**Excluded –** removes the sheathing (part) from the model. Excluded sheathings are only visible when under the cursor and will not be included in schedules.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.besmart.software/3d-modeling-and-design/wood-framing/wall-wood-framing/sheating-and-paneling-layouts/sheathing-configuration.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
