Better Tools for Refining Your Wall Panel Designs By Tracy Roe
A
s we continue our series on better tools for wall panel design, it’s time to explore our Edit Framing feature. In today’s industry, there are no easy jobs. Project complexity has increased steadily over the past several years. The need to be able to quickly review panels and edit on the fly is a necessity. Whether you need to identify and change a wall width, review wall types, or simply double check wall heights, Edit Framing puts speed and flexibility at your fingertips. With the all new TrueBuild® Layout with Panels, tedious tasks have become easy and intuitive, including the following key three we’re highlighting this month.
A quick verification of wall height could not be easier. In the first screen shot, we have selected Walls as our edit category and Wall Height as our framing type. The property grid gives us a list of all wall heights in the model. With the visibility toggles, we can quickly check each type as the 2D model highlights the contents. Functionality also allows quick edits for all walls in a Framing Type if required.
Another very useful framing edit category is Exclusion Zones. You can easily remove or “exclude” framing types from a specific portion of a wall or walls. This can be used for sheathing, blocking, or other framing types within your model. In the second example, we have selected Exclusion Zones and Sheathing. This allows us to remove the sheathing between two user-defined points on a wall. Continued next page
